Brazilian Igor Jesus, former Botafogo player, scored his first two goals for Nottingham Forest on Wednesday (17). In the game valid for the third round of the English League Cup, the striker shook the net twice in the partial 2-0 win over Swansea.
At 15 minutes, Forest arrived dangerously with the tip Omari Hutchinson, which cut the defense and tried a finish. Goalkeeper Andrew Fisher made the save and Igor took advantage of rebound to put the ball on the networks (check out the throw in the video below).

Already in the final stretch of the first stage, the Brazilian expanded the advantage. In a beautiful collective move, midfielder James McATEE found beautiful pass to Hutchinson, who settled for former Glorious Centrovant to score without goalkeeper.
