Anthony Elanga raised his arms in an almost apologetic manner.

The winger had just fired Nottingham Forest into the lead against former side Manchester United after a dazzling 70-yard run.

But the Swede elected not to celebrate out of respect for the team he joined at the age of 12.

That is despite Elanga’s left-footed finish being the reward of hours of hard work in his own time.

By Total Football News
