Anthony Elanga has emphasised his desire for self improvement following Nottingham Forest's 1-0 win against Manchester United on Tuesday which put them eight points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea.
Elanga scored his sixth goal of the season, with just five minutes played, running from deep inside his own half before tucking home the winner against his former side.

"All you want to do is keep on improving, coming here is about playing and developing," Elanga said to TNT Sports. "I am enjoying my football and I want to keep on going."
Speaking about his goal, he said: "It is about attacking the space and getting to the opposite goal as quick as I can. I saw the space and I believe I'm one of the fastest players in the league.
"The finish is something I have been trying to work on. Left foot or right foot, I am quite comfortable with both feet this season."
'Elanga is a midfielder's dream'
Elanga marked his most prolific season in the Premier League in style, running 85 metres after Ryan Yates headed away a Bruno Fernandes corner.
"He is a dream for a midfielder," said Yates. "Especially us sitting in that low-block - you can give him the ball and he does the rest."
"Elanga is a special boy and he gives us these things. His speed and control of the ball, he just does it by himself. It was huge and we are delighted," head coach Nuno Espirito Santo added.
