New Zealand’s Chris Wood scored twice to propel Nottingham Forest to a 3-1 win over Leicester City, lifting Forest to fifth in the Premier League standings.
Ryan Yates opened the scoring for Forest, only for Jamie Vardy to equalise before halftime.
In the second half, Wood’s brace sealed the victory, reflecting Forest’s dominance.
Leicester’s Mads Hermansen made an impressive save against Nicolas Dominguez, while Callum Hudson-Odoi hit the post, highlighting Forest’s missed opportunities for a greater margin.
Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo praised Wood’s form, calling his performance “amazing,” as Wood, now the league’s second top scorer, aims to close in on Erling Haaland’s ten goals this season.
