'Wiggly worm' - Nottingham Forest striker hails teammate after Bristol City win

Lyle Taylor may be remembered for his heroics in Bristol City's 2-1 win but his teammate's efforts did not go unrecognised.

Forest's goals came in injury time, both scores by Taylor, as they denied the Robins a first home win in 17 league games.

Despite scoring a brace, he explained that one of his teammates deserved a mention for taking part in the winner.

Joe Lolley's strike was saved by goalkeeper Dan Bentley before it bounced off Taylor's stomach and he calmly tapped it to the back of the net to seal the win.

"I call [Joe] Lolley the wiggly worm," the striker told BBC Radio Nottingham. "His arms and legs are so that you can't get the ball off of him, it's really unbelievable.

"I thought his effort was going in but it's a hell of a save but it's bounced off my stomach and given me a tap-in."

The 31-year-old has now scored three goals in his nine league appearances.
