Espírito Santo

Lewis' early opener silenced the 35,000 Forest fans behind the goal and Nuno Espirito Santo's side failed to land a blow on City before the break.

With five games to play, Nuno Espirito Santo's team sit fourth in the Premier League table with a three-point cushion between themselves and sixth-placed Chelsea.

"We have a clear way to play and when we found ourselves in our identity," Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo told BBC Match of the Day.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have lost their past two games, but they will go back to third if they beat Tottenham on Monday.
