Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper was delighted with matchwinner Anthony Elanga for victory at Chelsea.

Elanga struck the only goal at Stamford Bridge yesterday.

He's a good finisher, Anthony," Cooper said. "I get asked about him quite a lot because for a young player he's fairly high-profile and has come from United. We want players like that in the squad who are young and hungry, and who we know we can grow.

He is already a really good player, but he will become a very important player for us. That's just a process. Days like this will help him as well.

What we've noticed about him in training is that he's a really competent finisher. Taiwo has been scoring regularly for us, but you need other attacking players who look like they can score a goal as well. I really believe Anthony has that."
