Nottingham Forest defender stood out in loss to Norwich.
Nottingham Forest suffered a disappointing home defeat to Norwich City at the weekend.
Two goals from Timm Klose answered Lewis Grabban’s opener and gave the Canaries a hard fought for away win.
There were mixed performances from Forest’s players, but one who stood out defensively was Tendayi Darikwa.
The 26-year-old right-back was making just his seventh Championship appearance of the season after recently recovering his place.
Darikwa’s statistics made for impressive reading and demonstrated the hard work he put in defensively.
He made seven interceptions, more than any player in the Forest side.
Darikwa also made three tackles, the second highest among Forest’s defenders behind only Ben Osborn.
Going forward Darikwa looked less comfortable than some would like, but he did manage to create two chances.
Darikwa had a momentous week, making his international football for Zimbabwe.
A defeat to Norwich was not how he wanted it to end, but individually he did enough to keep his place.
