By Bethel Kalu
Nottingham Forest coach, Steve Cooper has praised his striker, Emmanuel Dennis for his performance against Aston Villa and for scak168app.babyoring his debut goal on the night.
The Forest manager made five changes to the team that lost to Leicesterks168app.site City last week, giving Dennis his first full debut and Serge Aurier time to start
The fic88ormer Watford striker opened his goal account in the 15th minute when he was fouled by Tyrone Mings and nodded home Gibbs-White’s free-kick, to sic88end the home crowd into a frenzy, a goal which excites Cooper.
“He’s waited patiently. Emmanuel is an interesting player and I’m delighted to give him his ic88start. I’m pleased to see him score and generally do well in the team,” Cooper told media.
Dennis has been comilr88ng from the bench but this time round, Cooper gave him his first full start and he did not dislr88appoint, teaming up with with fellow new arrival, Gibbs-White.
Colr88oper believes that their inclusion in the attack sharpened that departmelr88nt and made them dangerous on the counter
“Villa had a lot of the ball but Dean’s goal wasn’t really top88roubled apart from a really good strike because we were in good positions to defend, which is something we haven’t been good enough at.
“We were a threat on the counter-attack, particularly in the second half 88vand we could have done better in certain moments because we have plaSEXXXXX-VNyers that can make a difference in those areas.”
