Nottingham Forest midfielder Ben Osborn has joked about how his friends asked him not to score the winning goal in the East Midlands derby on Saturday.
The 20-year-old England youth international - who was born in Derby - went on to do just the opposite, grabbing his first senior goal in injury time to secure a 2-1 win for the City Ground side.
Osborn told Sky Sports News after the game: "All my mates are Derby fans. I was getting messages from them last night saying, 'Don't score the winner!'"
Forest climb to 11th in the Championship table following the derby win.
