Reports of Nottingham Forest’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. After a five-goal defeat at Bournemouth last weekend, they bounced back with a thrashing of their own, downing a dismal Brighton 7-0 as Chris Wood fired a hat-trick against his former club.
A Lewis Dunk own goal and headers from Morgan Gibbs-White and Wood put Forest out of sight in the first half. The New Zealander netted his 16th and 17th of the season after the break before Neco Williams and Jota Silva added to the tally as the hosts moved level with second-placed Arsenal. Supposedly, the sign of a great team is how they deal with adversity and Forest proved they are not a fragile side.
