Nottingham Forest continue their remarkable ascent under Nuno Espírito Santo. A club that was one place above the relegation zone when Nuno took over 12 months ago now sit second in the Premier League table after a comfortable victory over Everton. The Champions League may 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 win in a row, equalling the club’s Premier League record set in April 1995. A commanding team performance also ensured that, for the first time since 1898/99, Forest have won in the league at both Everton and Liverpool. Sean Dyche’s team had gone six Premier League games unbeaten at Goodison Park prior to Forest’s visit but were a distant second-best throughout.
