Elliot Anderson’s versatility can continue to be a huge asset for Nottingham Forest, according to head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

He is an extremely adaptable player. He is capable of playing both wide and middle, and he can play that position in front of the two. This season, he has played for us in a variety of positions, including left and right, and has consistently produced strong performances.He has a lot of growth ahead of him as a very young player, but the talent is there. You witnessed it, and we are thrilled with him.

“Having that adaptability is helpful, especially when they are still so young. It can only improve them.

On Sels’ performance…

When Matz is among your team’s top players, it speaks volumes about the game itself. Given how good Palace is, it demonstrates how challenging it is to play against them. They have a lot of quality up front and are strong, small, and don’t leave you much room. They are also always pressing.

The quantity of shots in the match indicates that both teams gave it their all. We are happy that Matz performed admirably and kept us in the game.

“Amazing. We are delighted with Chris, not only for the goals but all his actions in the game – the way he links, the way he helps the team, set-pieces. And more than all of that is the impact he has in the dressing room – his leadership, as a very experienced player for the young lads, we cannot thank him enough.”
