(Video) Arsenal hero Nicklas Bendtner scores first goal on return to English football

People have been so taken up with the jokes about Nicklas Bendtner’s return to English football that they’ve forgotten that he can actually play football too.

While the former Arsenal man is unlikely to fulfil the potential that once had him label himself a future Ballon d’or winner, he’s certainly good enough to do a job for Nottingham Forest in the Championship, as you can see below.

The Danish striker peeled away cleverly to the back post, and kept a cool head to finish from a tight angle.
