Micah Richards lauded Brennan Johnson following his "brilliant" display for Nottingham Forest against Wolves on Saturday.
The 21-year-old scored the game's opening goal, putting the ball between goalkeeper Jose Sa's legs with a superb finish in the first half. Daniel Podence equalised for the visitors late in the contest to take a point away from the City Ground.
The Welsh international's overall performance received a glowing review from Richards, who was very impressed by the forward's strike. He has now notched eight goals in the Premier League this term, making him the third-highest scorer among players 21 years and below with only Arsenal attackers Bukayo Saka (12) and Gabriel Martinelli (13) finding the net more often.

"Literally (involved in everything), he's so good. And it's not just what he does in front of goal, it's the hard work he does for the team as well," the former Aston Villa full-back said on BBC Match of the Day.
"But he takes his goal brilliantly well. I actually think he was going for the nutmeg on the keeper, because it's the only way he could go when he's striking it with the instep of his foot.
"This is his eighth Premier League goal. Of players 21 and younger only Saka and Martinelli have scored more. It's brilliant for a team that's been struggling."
