Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo could not find a better way to express his gratitude to Nigerian international Ola Aina following his side's victory over Ipswich Town in the FA Cup.
The jubilant Portuguese tactician was captured carrying the 28-year-old on his back after his side edged Ipswich Town 5-4 on penalty shootouts, following a 1-1 stalemate in regulation time and extra time.
The Tricky Trees qualified for the quarterfinals of the competition after a hard-fought victory against their Premier League rivals.
Aina, who has been Forest's most consistent player this season, put up a decent performance for the Tricky Trees with a 6.5 rating after the game.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side will take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
Awwww ❤️❤️
