Forest fans in the away end for the Premier League game unfurled a banner which read: "Respect the 97. Solidarity with survivors. No to tragedy chanting."

The gesture, just a few minutes into the game, earned a standing ovation from the home crowd, while Forest boss Steve Cooper also stood up from his dugout to join in.
Forest were the opposition team during the disaster in 1989 where 97 Liverpool fans lost their lives in a crush at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield.

After years of searching for justice by the families, it was found that supporters were 'unlawfully killed' by 'gross negligence' from the police match commander, David Duckenfield.
Forest made a similar gesture when the two teams met in the FA Cup in March last year, leaving 97 seats empty in tribute.
Reacting on talkSPORT 2, commentator Ian Danter said: "That's a perfectly-put banner that's rightly applauded all around Anfield. People are getting to their feet to applaud."
He added: "Well played, Nottingham Forest fans."

Arsenal legend Perry Groves said: "It makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
"Quite rightly we don't want any tragedy chanting and both sets of supporters are coming together."
