Nottingham Forest 7-0 Brighton, Premier League: Chris Wood Hat-Trick Powers Hosts' Historic Win
🍎Star forward Chris Wood netted a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest routed Brighton 7-0 on Saturday (February 1, 2025) for the biggest-ever Premier League win for the unlikely title contenders. Wood, the 33-year-old New Zealand international, took his tally to 17 goals in the best Premier League campaign of his career. Only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (19) and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (18) have more goals this season. Morgan Gibbs-White, Neco Williams and Jota Silva also scored after an own-goal by Lewis Dunk set the ball rolling at the City Ground for third-place Forest, who are the surprise of the Premier League this season and moved level on 47 points with second-place Arsenal. This thrashing came a week after Forest were beaten heavily themselves, 5-0 at Bournemouth.
