'Still having nightmares' - Nottingham Forest troll Derby County and fans are loving it

Nottingham Forest have found Derby County light work in the past year.

In 2019, Forest beat their East Midlands rivals three times, racking up a 5-0 scoreline across the matches.

It started with a 1-0 defeat of Frank Lampard's side at the City Ground in February and by the the middle of November had already handed Phillip Cocu, Lampard's replacement two defeats in the fixture

Forest crushed Derby 3-0 in the Carabao Cup in August before recording a second 1-0 defeat at the City Ground in November.

Sabri Lamouchi 's side were at their pragmatic best in the most recent clash, with Lewis Grabban pouncing on an error from Jayden Bogle to score the only goal of the game.

As they searched for an opener they started to up their game and Tiago Silva - a player of the year contender - got the Trent End on their feet with a dazzling piece of skill.

He pulled out the elastico on Derby's Duane Holmes and put the midfielder in a right spin.

And Forest wheeled the clip of the brilliant moment out on social media yesterday morning.

Predictably, the Reds fans couldn't get enough.

"The Derby 23 is still having nightmares," one fan said.

"You great tease," another added.

"See ya," said a third.

While a fourth added: "Very naughty."

"That Derby defender looks like the kid in the playground who has just started having a kick about," said another.
