MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE brilliantly silenced a small section of Wolves fans mocking his girlfriend.
The England international was the target of abuse in Nottingham Forest‘s trip to Molineux on Monday night.
Gibbs-White was hounded by Wolves fans still angry over his departure from the club in the summer of 2022.
Chants of “your girlfriend’s a s**g” were heard in the early embers of the match every time he touched the ball.
But Gibbs-White ended up having the last laugh a few moments later by opening the scoring in the seventh minute.
He celebrated by running to the corner flag and putting his fingers in his ears to symbolise that he was blocking out the taunts about his girlfriend, Britney Devilliers.
Devilliers is a successful social media influencer, with a whopping 274,000 followers on Instagram.
She regularly shares updates on her relationship with Gibbs-White, her exotic holidays and promotes beauty brands.
Despite giving as good as he got to the Wolves fans with his celebration, Gibbs-White insists he wasn’t fussed by their jibes.
When pressed on his celebration, he told Optus Sports: “I think it always has the same meaning.

“Just block out whatever they say. But I don’t mind it.
“It sort of gives me that edge and more motivation to do better and succeed.
“But I love it. I think this is what is part of football.
“The fans really enjoying it, giving stick, and then us performing on the pitch.
“I’m just more than happy that the boys got the three points tonight.”
Forest ended up running out 3-0 winners thanks to additional goals from Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi.
Nuno Espirito Santo‘s troops are currently third in the Premier League and are only behind second-placed Arsenal because of their goal difference.
Forest will be back in action on Saturday, welcoming Luton Town to the City Ground for their FA Cup third-round clash.
