Nottingham Forest winger Joe Lolley has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s win against Hull City.

Forest got the better of Hull 3-0 at the City Ground in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

After a goalless first half, Joao Carvalho put the Reds in the lead in the 72nd minute, and Karim Ansarifard doubled the advantage just four minutes later.

Lolley made it 3-0 to Forest from the penalty in the 82nd minute, as the Reds maintained their charge towards a playoff spot.

The 26-year-old has taken to Twitter to revel in the win for Forest against Hull, and the former Huddersfield Town winger has also criticised the Birmingham City fans.

During the Second City derby between Birmingham and Villa at St. Andrew’s on Sunday afternoon, Grealish was attacked on the pitch by a fan of the home team.

Lolley is a boyhood Villa fan, according to The Birmingham Mail, and the Forest winger has criticised the incident and the Birmingham fans.

Interestingly, the winger has been linked with a move to Villa in the summer transfer window, with The Sun reporting last month that the Villans are looking at the Forest star as a replacement for Grealish should he leave.
