Despite being under pressure, Potter's team showed resilience and determination, keeping Forest at bay in the first half before scoring three late goals through captain Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, and Callum Wilson.

Potter praised his players for their performance, saying they "deserved the night, they deserved the win, they deserved the performance because of how they've acted." He expressed confidence in his team's ability and spirit, and was proud of their hard work and dedication.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, on the other hand, faced uncertainly after the match. His team had started the season with a win and a draw, but a reported cooling of relations between the manager and the owner, Evangelos Marinakis, has left his position unclear.

Espirito Santo acknowledged that the team's performance in the second half was disappointing, saying it was a "shocking" turn of events. He agreed that the team needs to address their issues and work towards improvement, and that they have a second chance to make it right.
