📸 Nottingham Forest pay touching Elliot Anderson tribute 🙏

Nottingham Forest's bid to reach the Europa League semi-final is off to a flying start.

Morgan Gibbs-White gave the hosts an early lead against Porto in their last eight encounter at the City Ground that nudged them ahead on a 2-1 aggregate.

Vítor Pereira's side were dealt a late setback ahead of kick off as Elliot Anderson was a withdrawn from the match day squad following the death of his mother on Thursday.

The Tricky Trees found a touching way to incorporate the absent England international into their celebrations for Gibbs-White's opener with a special message on a shirt.
