Republic of Ireland fans will always be keeping an eye on the Championship, with a host of Irish players plying their trade in the division.
Yesterday's clash between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest saw two Irish players net goals and one claimed man-of-the-match.
Albert Adomah had given Villa a 1-0 lead going into half-time but shortly after the restart Irish forward Daryl Murphy got his name on the scoresheet.
Taking a pass with his back to goal, Murphy held off John Terry and international team-mate Glenn Whelan before gliding past James Chester to score.
The Waterford native has hit the ground running for Forest with yesterday's goal being his fifth of the season.
🤚 High five.

But Murphy's equaliser was not enough as man-of-the-match Conor Hourihane ensured all three points went to Villa with a stunning free-kick.
