'We're all Rodriguez' - Nottingham Forest ace's euphoric celebration sums up fans' mood

Defender Chema no doubt summed up the jubilant mood among Nottingham Forest fans with his brilliant reaction to the winning goal against their arch-rivals.

The Reds got the better of Derby County with a 1-0 victory over their bitter enemies at the City Ground, ensuring they headed into the international break with back-to-back wins.

Lewis Grabban bagged the goal which made the difference, in the 56th minute, pouncing on an error from Rams full-back Jayden Bogle when he raced on to a loose pass across the face of goal and beat Kelle Roos with a first-time shot.

It is the second time this season Sabri Lamouchi’s men have triumphed in the East Midlands derby, having inflicted a 3-0 thumping in the Carabao Cup back in August.

Chema found himself as an unused substitute in the latest meeting between the two sides, but his delight at claiming three points against Phillip Cocu’s side was evident.

Forest captured a video of the centre-back celebrating from the bench as Grabban found the back of the net.

The clip, posted on social media, shows Chema leaping up from his seat and giving a euphoric fist-pump as he roars in celebration.

On Twitter, the post attracted almost 2,000 likes and more than 200 retweets, with CityGroundShelfSide commenting: “We’re all Rodriguez.”

Here’s what other fans have been saying.
