Felipe was making his home debut for Forest against City after a surprise transfer from Atletico in January and earned the man of the match award for keeping Haaland out as Forest secured a point.

The Brazilian spoke after the game, explaining how keeping tight to Haaland was his best chance of winning that individual battle.
