Nottingham Forest produced an incredible exhibition at the City Ground and Through Brighton in the Premier League 7-0.
The hosts showed no mercy and jumped back from their last 5-0 loss to Bournemouth.
Chris Wood was an outstanding actor who scored an excellent hat trick to take his season to 17 goals.
His first came in the first half, with the forest already showing a dominance and pressing Brighton in errors.
Wood’s second and third goals came in the second half, the latter from the penalty point to Tyriq Lamppty’s ruthless foul against Morgan Gibbs-White. Wood hit the stain into the lower right corner, ended his hat trick and sealed an unforgettable day for itself and the club.
Anthony Elanga also achieved a special achievement and delivered three templates of his trademark and directness.

His ride and precise cutback set wood for the fourth goal for Forests, and he continued to disturb Brighton’s backline. Neco Williams added his name to the goal ship in one fell swoop into the upper left corner after Brighton had not deleted her lines.
In her part, Brighton looked out of art from the start. Defensive errors plagued their performance, and goalkeeper Bart banged a nightmare afternoon.
His wrong passport in the game gave Jota Silva his first forest gate and picked up the Rout. BRUGGEN frustration boiled over and earned him a yellow card for Dissens in the last moments.
Despite the attempts by Brighton, some would claw back, the efforts of Rutter and O’Riley forcing rescues from the Imperious Sels, the defense of Forest remained narrow. Sels’ fingertip to refuse O’Riley’s curling free kick, was proof of his shape this season and kept his clean sheet intact.
The victory is the greatest victory of the Premier League of Forest in recent history and increases the mood after its previous defeat against the cherries.
For Brighton, this difficult loss raises questions about your defensive organization, especially in view of her strong performance at the beginning of the season.
