Nottingham Forest 2-0 Luton: Sosa stars in the hosts’ seventh consecutive victory

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo made 11 changes to the team that started Monday’s 3-0 Premier League win over Wolves, giving some of his fringe players a chance to impress against Luton, who fight for the championship.

Ramon Sosa grabbed that opportunity with both hands, who made his first league start against Everton last month but was an unused substitute at Molineux earlier in the week.

The Paraguayan sent in a perfectly weighted cross for Ryan Yates to head in five minutes before the break before scoring himself in the second half, converting Jota Silva’s low cross after 68 minutes.

Sosa was replaced five minutes later, but the Forest fans gave him a warm ovation as he walked off the pitch.

It remains to be seen whether they will face Premier League leaders Liverpool on Tuesday, but Saturday’s display suggests the summer signing from Talleres could still have a role to play in the top flight as Forest look to secure their place. in Europe next season.
