Nottingham Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Claudio Yacob against Sheffield United.

Yacob featured for Forest in their Championship match against United at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

The 31-year-old defensive midfielder started the game and played for the entire 90 minutes, as Aitor Karanka’s side won 1-0.

The Argentine was making his league debut for the Reds, and his performance against the Blades was very encouraging.

Yacob – who joined Forest in September after leaving Championship rivals West Bromwich Albion at the end of last season – did well in midfield, got stuck in and kept things simple.

The former Racing Club star played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 91.7%, won two headers, took 68 touches, and made one tackle and two clearances, according to WhoScored.

The win means that the Reds are now sixth in the Championship table with 26 points from 16 matches.

Forest fans were impressed with the performance of Yacob and have praised him on Twitter.
