Nottingham Forest defender Eric Lichaj has got his dog after a social media campaign convinced his wife to give in. And the American has named his new pet Gunner after he scored twice to help Forest to a 4-2 win and knock holders Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the City Ground on Sunday.
He told BT Sport after the third-round tie his wife Kathryn had promised him a dog if he scored a hat-trick this season. He tweeted on Monday, asking "anyone who is bored" to send "dog pics, memes, gifs to @KatPerko" -- his wife's Twitter handle. And on Tuesday, Lichaj took to Twitter to reveal the campaign had been a success. He posted a picture (right) of Gunner and wrote: "Wanted to show everyone the newest member of the Lichaj family... Gunner. Thank you."
