WHAT HAPPENED?
The Brazilian forward was served the ball off a throw-in by Oleksandr ZInchenko, and despite there being four-different defenders within a few feet of him, no Forest player opted to close in or even make a challenge on the ball. Jesus took one touch, looked up and shot the ball through the legs of the American goalkeeper at the near-post.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Turner has had a rough go of late, but all-in-all, Forest have been playing below the level they're capable of. Boss Steve Cooper was sacked just days before Christmas, and the Premier League side have struggled since. New boss Nuno Espirito Santo is winless to start the calendar year, with Forest without a victory in their last three. However, Turner's performances in net have seemingly become a concern, and now the club is looking to the January transfer window to solve it. Their first approach for RB Leipzig stopper Peter Gulacsi , though, was denied and now, just days are left in the transfer market.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR TURNER AND FOREST?
Turner and Co return to the pitch on February 4 to take on Bournemouth in Premier League action. By then, though, Forest could have a new shotstopper competing for minutes with the USMNT star.
