Brice Samba shocks PSG and Kylian Mbappe as Nottingham Forest hero shines in Ligue 1

Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba continues to impress at RC Lens and he was again in the spotlight after a shock 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Samba has taken Ligue 1 by storm following his switch from the City Ground in the summer, after turning down fresh terms at the club. The 28-year-old played a significant part in the Reds' promotion campaign back to the Premier League last season.

In Sunday's home win over league leaders PSG, Samba put on another impressive display. He denied Kylian Mbappe and co countless times as Lens closed the gap to just four points.

David Oxendale: "I hope he's loved as much as he is in Nottingham."

Gavin Foster: "Felt at the time and still do that we should have kept Samba. We miss his distribution as much as anything."

Joshua Poskitt: "I miss him."

Sid: "Should never have let this man go. Clear of our current options."

Jake: "He could go to the very top. He's better than the majority of Premier League keepers."
