Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Periera, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "The three points is the most important thing. Keeping in mind, we played a tough game three days ago. Our first half we found it difficult to find the spaces and movements. At half-time we had a talk about changing the dynamics and attacking different spaces. Demanding the spirit and character and fight. In the end, a very good second half. I am happy with it."
On captain Morgan Gibbs-White: "He is leading by example. I know a lot of [captains] that speak and speak, but it proves nothing. I didn't feel he was at his best level in the first half but he did fantastic in the second half.
"Even when we are in bad moments, we feel the energy from the supporters, and we create spirit in the team to face problems. The second half was a big example that we are alive and ready to fight until the last game to reach our target."
On Murillo, who came off injured: "I don't know. He needs to do a scan. Talking with him, I don't think it's serious. We'll see."
Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "A massive three points. We knew how important this game was coming into it. The first half was a bit nervous, tense. The words from the gaffer was to give it everything out there. Whatever will be, will be. They boys came out fighting, took our chances when we needed to and controlled the game.
"The first [chance] I was a bit erratic, I knew for the second one to take a touch and be a bit more composed. When the third went in, it was a delight. My first career hat-trick. I am over the moon, but more importantly, we got the win, and we have that gap."
On Elliot Anderson: "He is massive for us, and his decision to come back in is down to him - and it came out today as the right decision. It is a horrible moment right now, that's it."
Manager Vitor Pereira emphasized the importance of the three points and noted the team's improved performance in the second half.
