Nottingham Forest continue their remarkable ascent under Nuno Espírito Santo. A club that was one place above the relegation zone when Nuno arrived 12 months ago climbed to second in the Premier League with a comfortable win against Everton. The Champions League might not be a fanciful dream after all.
The outstanding duo of Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White scored the goals that secured Forest’s fifth victory in a row, equalling the club’s Premier League record set in April 1995. A controlled and incisive team performance also enabled Forest to win at both Everton and Liverpool for the first time in the same league season since 1898-99. Sean Dyche’s team were unbeaten in six home league games before Forest’s visit but were ineffective and vulnerable throughout.
