Aurier featured for the Reds against his former team and was on the losing side of a 3-1 scoreline in north London on Saturday afternoon. Two goals from Harry Kane and a third from Son Heung-min saw Forest return to the East Midlands empty-handed.

Both Keys and Gray were critical of Forest and were quick to highlight Aurier's defending. The defender has largely done well since signing on a free transfer in the summer transfer window, but could not escape criticism this weekend.

Keys added: “That’s why he’s not playing at Tottenham", to which Gray replied: "You are probably right. It’s a nice ball in from Richarlison. But look at Aurier’s defending. I’m sorry, that’s not very good."
