Daniel Farke's response to fan anger, a referee reference that won't curry much favour with supporters and a nod back at the transfer window.

Forest awarded a free-kick in their own half, which was never a free-kick in a million years. But from there they go down the pitch, big switch, Gudmundsson can't stop the cross and Gibbs-White is between the CBs. Flicks home a header.

2-1
