Nottingham Forest fans stunned by what Morgan Gibbs-White did in England win

Nottingham Forest fans were wowed by Morgan Gibbs-White’s performance as England beat the Republic of Ireland 2-0 at the Aviva Stadium.

Lee Carsley’s first game as England manager saw a comfortable victory thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish as his side dominated.

However, Forest fans were focused on another England debutant in Gibbs-White, who was handed his first senior cap as he came off the bench in the 77th minute.

He became the first Forest player to earn an England cap since Stuart Pearce in 1997, and supporters were wowed by his first touches for his country.

The attacking midfielder replaced Grealish with the game drawing to a close, but showed flashes of brilliance despite his short time on the pitch.

One highlight in particular saw a perfect pass played through to Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, and he was unlucky not to pick up an assist.

Supporters at the City Ground have been called for Gibbs-White to receive international recognition since before Gareth Southgate named his Euro 2024 squad.

There had been some disappointment after the player missed out on the Euros squad, but Carsley was quick to hand a first call-up to a player he knows well.

Now, following an impressive cameo display, fans have taken to social media as they have labelled him “ridiculous” and “one of the best in the Premier League”.
