Chris Wood extended his impressive goal-scoring streak by scoring the opening goal against West Ham United in a convincing 3-0 victory that propelled Nottingham Forest into third place in the league standings.
The Forest forward headed home with the first shot on target for either side on the afternoon after latching onto Alex Moreno's cross from the left (27).
Wood has now netted eight goals in his last eight appearances for club and country, as he continues to stake his claim as serious opposition to Manchester City forward Erling Haaland in the race for the golden boot.
After coming close to equalising through Lucas Paqueta and his effort that was cleared off the line, West Ham's misery in the first half was compounded by a red card for Edson Alvarez.
The midfielder picked up two bookings in the space of three minutes to reduce his side to 10 players after leaving referee Peter Bankes with no choice by lunging in on Anthony Elanga.
TrendingCallum Hudson-Odoi had been heavily involved throughout the fixture and eventually got his name on the scoresheet after curling in a second for the hosts from outside the box (65).
Ola Aina went on to add a third and arguably the pick of the bunch as he capitalised on an error from Jean-Clair Todibo before lashing an effort into the top left corner to round-off an impressive victory for his high-flying side.
