MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE silenced the South Bank as he sent watching England boss Thomas Tuchel a timely reminder of his talent.
The playmaker needed just seven minutes to hit Vitor Pereira's men where it hurts as Nuno Espirito Santo's side moved level on points with second-placed Arsenal.
Gibbs-White quit the Black Country club for the east Midlands two seasons ago in a deal worth up to £45million.
But the split wasn't amicable, and the 24-year-old bore the brunt - and responded by creating and finishing the opener for the upwardly mobile visitors.
He celebrated in front of upset home fans by placing his fingers in his ears as Forest grabbed the initiative.
Tuchel (circle), who was sitting in the stands after spending the day at St George's Park, will no doubt have noted his prowess.
