Brilliant’: Michael Dawson seriously impressed by £5.9m Nottingham Forest ace during win over Luton

In a match that allowed several of Forest’s top players much-needed rest, Forest defeated Luton to advance to the FA Cup’s fourth round, demonstrating that the momentum under Nuno Espirito Santo is not slowing down. Among others, Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White observed as the Forest team demonstrated its depth, with Ramon Sosa standing out against Luton in particular. Sosa was praised by Forest supporters for his performance, which included helping Ryan Yates score the game’s first goal and scoring from the left flank.

But Michael Dawson, a Sky Sports analyst and Forest Academy alumnus, identified another player who was crucial to the FA Cup victory. Dawson commented on the goal, saying, “Jota Silva is brilliant.” After he crosses the six-yard line, Sosa taps in with his right foot. Keeper has no chance. Silva may have the opportunity to challenge Elanga for a starting position in the Forest squad in addition to the assist based on his game statistics.

Jota Silva’s performance vs Luton in numbers

Elanga eventually took Silva’s place in the 74th minute, although Silva played well enough to give the Swedish winger competition. In a game with few scoring possibilities, Silva set up three chances for his Forest colleagues, including the assist.

In addition, he finished four passes into the last third and one dribble, which was especially challenging given how Luton sat deep against Espirito Santo’s team.Silva started the next game against Ipswich after impressing Espirito Santo against Arsenal in November. After his spectacular display against Luton, the Portuguese winger will be looking for something similar.
