A Nottingham Forest player is reprimanded by Adrian Durham for “bad” diving against Crystal Palace.

Nottingham Forest is now eighth in the Premier League after a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, but Adrian Durham was not pleased with one player whom he accuses of diving.

Morgan Gibbs-White’s absence was not particularly noticeable, as Elliot Anderson put on one of his best performances of the season, connecting plays and even going on a few mazy runs.

Anderson’s first-half run, in which he took on three or four players and got a shot off, was compared to Lionel Messi’s.

Nottingham Forest will now face Steve Cooper’s Leicester City in the Premier League, which promises to be an entertaining match.

However, Adrian Durham of TalkSPORT was not pleased with one Nottingham Forest player, accusing him of diving and claiming he was ‘bad’ at it.

Adrian Durham criticizes Nottingham Forest player who was ‘bad’ at diving against Crystal Palace.

Nottingham Forest had a number of standout performances against Palace, with Chris Wood scoring, Anderson creating, and Nikola Milenkovic keeping things tight at the back.

However, the alleged diving of one player caught the eye of Adrian Durham.

When speaking on X, the TalkSPORT man accused Ryan Yates of diving during Forest’s match against Crystal Palace, which seems a little harsh.

Yates does go down easily at times, but he is usually rewarded for it by referees, so you can’t really blame him for one of the times it doesn’t work out.

Ryan Yates has moved up a level this season at Nottingham Forest.

Ryan Yates has often led from the front in the Premier League this season, with his performance against Chelsea serving as a prime example, as he kept Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer at bay.

Interestingly, Yates has had such an impact at Forest that they have established a program specifically to target young players coming through the ranks who can replicate his success.

Nuno Espirito Santo has found a player in Yates on whom he can rely and trust during crucial moments.

Don Hutchinson even gave Yates the new nickname ‘cockroach’ because of how much of a nuisance he is to the opposition.
