Stop what you're doing and savour this magical Nottingham Forest free-kick

Take a bow, Ben Osborn.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST ENDED a run of eight games without a win today and they did so in spectacular fashion, thanks to the left foot of Ben Osborn.

Osborn, who’s being courted by Newcastle United, scored the only goal of the game as Forest got the better of Bristol City at the City Ground.

The 22-year-old midfielder scored his second goal of the season in the 67th minute, after being teed up from a free-kick by Matty Cash.

From there, it was absolutely sublime by Osborn.

The result moves 19th-paced Forest five points clear of the relegation zone in the Championship.

    Well done to the 42. That said I am not a fan of the Irish sports media. They are part of the cosy P.C consensus that exists here. Most of them follow an agenda. Which is obvious if you look at the posts on the site.

    @Daniel Murray: off the ball has gone to the dogs.. It’s grand if you want to listen to hipster culchies talking on about the Premiership two and a half hours every night.. Newstalk was a much better station was it was only Broadcast in Dublin..

    @David Garland: OTB is pure garbage alright especially that morning crap. Just a platform for middle aged Ger Gilroy to sit in a room that looks like the sporting equivalent of Wayne’s World and talk sh ite. It’s utterly cringeworthy. And then there’s the ginger bloke next to him. He has no credibility, at all, yet feels the need to offer his worthless opinions. Haven’t watched or listened to Newstalk in ages. A thoroughly dreadful station.
