Brennan Johnson demand sent after Nottingham Forest star responds to Kevin De Bruyne

Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson has received praise from Wales supporters after his display against Belgium in Thursday night's Nations League defeat.

Johnson, 21, played the full 90 minutes in Brussels on Thursday evening as Rob Page's side suffered their third defeat in four games. The Reds forward, who had scored in his previous two games for the Dragons, assisted Kieffer Moore's consolation goal in the 50th minute.

The Forest man played well against superstars Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard, putting his case forward for a place in Wales' World Cup squad for the November tournament.

De Bruyne in particular was superb and Johnson did well to put in the performance he did against the Manchester City ace.
