“£15m Nottingham Forest Star Sends Shockwaves with Top-Tier Performance at Brentford – A Future Premier League Legend
Nottingham Forest’s impressive season continues as they climbed to third in the Premier League following a 2-0 victory at Brentford on Saturday.
The Reds secured their third consecutive Premier League win, with goals from Ola Aina and Anthony Elanga. While many Forest players stood out, one delivered what could be considered his best performance for the club at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Murillo Shines for Nottingham Forest at Brentford
That player was Murillo, who produced a performance described by the Nottingham Post as worthy of a “lengthy highlights reel.” The Brazilian defender was a standout at the back for Forest, making nine clearances, three interceptions, one block, and one tackle.
Murillo’s distribution was equally impressive, completing 19 of his 20 passes for a 95% accuracy rate and hitting the target with all four of his long balls. He also won both of his aerial duels and one of his ground duels during the match.
Despite being an injury doubt before the game, Murillo started and played a crucial role in helping Forest secure a top-four spot ahead of Christmas. Forest’s £15 million investment in Murillo is proving to be a smart one, as he continues to improve at the City Ground.
His performance at Brentford was one of the most outstanding individual displays from a centre-back in recent Premier League memory, and it’s clear that Murillo has a bright future ahead. With Forest now firmly in the top four, both the club and the player have a lot to look forward to.
Murillo Praised by Ian Wright and Alan Shearer
In September, Ian Wright praised Murillo as one of his favorite players to watch in the Premier League, highlighting his defensive skills and his ability to play out from the back. Wright said: “He’s so good, he’s so good on the ball. He’s passing out of defense, he’s very good.”
Alan Shearer also lauded Murillo earlier in the season, describing him as a “commanding” presence at the back for Forest.
