Nottingham Forest see off Barnsley thanks to Henri Lansbury hat-trick

Henri Lansbury scored a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest ran out 5-2 winners against 10-man Barnsley at Oakwell. The hosts led twice in the first half but both times held their advantage for less than 10 minutes as Forest secured back-to-back away wins in the Championship.“The target was to keep a clean sheet, but sometimes the team want to play with their character. It’s better to win 5-2 than draw 0-0,” said the Forest manager, Philippe Montanier. “After the victory at Ipswich we needed another victory because we’re not well ranked and before this game we were one point from the relegation zone. To score five goals is perfect for the fans.” Related: Mustapha Carayol: ‘I learned everything at Damilola Taylor Centre, not just football’ Related: Tammy Abraham, Pontus Jansson and the Championship’s most eye-catching players | Nick Miller Continue reading......read full article
