Nottingham Forest beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 at the City Ground to climb above Fulham into fourth in the Championship.
The Reds sealed the win thanks to a Lewis Grabban brace and a Joe Lolley strike.
It’s now three wins in succession for Forest who will travel to Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
After winning ugly against Wigan at the weekend the performance will have impressed boss Sabri Lamouchi.
Forest are progressing nicely under the Frenchman and will be confident going into the second half of the campaign.
The Reds were made to work for their latest victory. Stewart Downing and a Joe Worrall own goal threatened to make life nervy for Forest.
Matty Cash was a man once again in some fine form.
He kept the lively Adam Armstrong and Downing quiet and was also decent bombing forward down the right flank.
Following the game, he took to Twitter to speak of his delight at the third win on the trot for Forest:
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League and it’s easy to see why.
Cash has been in magnificent form and despite playing out of position, he has been one of Forest’s better players.
After his tweet, Forest fans took to Twitter to rave about his performance:
