“Swedish Media Drop Bombshell Verdict on Nottingham Forest Star Anthony Elanga After Stunning 5-1 Victory
Sweden triumphed over Northern Ireland on Tuesday evening, with Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga starting the game on the bench.
Clearly, Jon Dahl Tomasson wasn’t pleased with Elanga’s performance in Sweden’s previous outing – a disappointing 1-0 loss to Luxembourg in their latest friendly.
In that match, Elanga was deployed as a forward, but his explosive pace was less effective in a somewhat experimental Swedish lineup that struggled.
In this game, Elanga played a more limited role. However, when he came on, he made a significant impact on what turned out to be a memorable night for Sweden.
Swedish Media Weighs in on Elanga’s Performance
Elanga has been in excellent form lately, and the hope is that he can maintain this momentum through to the end of the season.
Nottingham Forest are firmly in the hunt for a Champions League spot and have remained in third place in the Premier League since December 29.
On Tuesday, Elanga entered the game in the 71st minute, and within just five minutes, he found the net, scoring after a well-executed corner routine.
Fotbollskanalen awarded him a passing grade and praised: “Scored just five minutes after coming on. Positioned well at the far post and converted Eliasson’s cross into the goal.”
Elanga’s Importance to Forest
Elanga is unmatched at Forest when it comes to speed. He regularly leaves defenders behind and is a constant threat down the right side.
In their most recent match against Ipswich, he scored twice for the first time in his career, proving to be a danger through the middle.
It’s encouraging to see Elanga developing a more well-rounded game, and he’s poised to be a key player for Forest in the final stretch of the season.
At just 22 years old, Elanga’s future looks incredibly promising, and his recent boost in confidence will be a major asset to Forest in the coming months.
