Chris Wood and his Nottingham Forest teammates have paid a touching tribute to their teammate during their 3-2 extra time FA Cup victory over Blackpool this morning.
The club was rocked by the news this week that midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate had tragically lost his father.
The Senegal midfielder has left the African Nations Cup squad in order to attend his funeral.
Back in the UK, Kouyate's Forest teammates paid tribute to him by holding up a shirt that read "thinking of you, Cheikhou" after each goal they scored.
Forest needed extra time before seeing off third-tier Blackpool 3-2, with Wood scoring the winner in the 110th minute after his team squandered a two-goal lead.
Andrew Omobamidele and Danilo had put Forest in control at Bloomfield Road.
Forest will play second-tier Bristol City next.
