'Get him up front!' - Molla Wague named in 'WhoScored?' team of the week after chipping in with yet another Nottingham Forest goal

Nottingham Forest defender Molla Wague has been named in WhoScored?'s Championship team of the week after heading home the winner at the City Ground.

The popular football website, which bases its ratings on statistics alone, gave the ex-Leicester man an 8.2/10 for his performance against Swansea City.

Wague's goal, his third since joining the Reds in January, came with just three minutes left on the clock during what was a dramatic and frantic climax in the Championship.

Five talking points as Nottingham Forest breathe fresh life into play-off hopes  

The visitors took the lead with just fifteen minutes left to play with a goal that looked to have dented Forest's play-off hopes.

However, a goal from Daryl Murphy with ten minutes to go looked to have salvaged a point before Wague's late header gave the Reds a memorable victory on a day when they were far from their best.

It was Wague though, who stole the show, with a solid defensive performance and a goal that could prove vital in the race for the top six.

After full-time, Forest fans took to social media to hail the performance of their loan star with some even, admittedly jokingly, calling for the defender to lead the line for Martin O'Neill's side.
