Nuno Espirito Santo's moved level on points with secon🧜d-placed Arsenal and just six shy of leaders Liverpool – who they host next time out in the league at the City Ground – after another impressive showing.
Morga🍸n Gibbs-White needed just seven minutes to find the opener against his former side before Chris Wood doubled Forest's advantage on the stroke of half-time with his 12th league goal of the term.
Taiwo Awoniyi rounded off a brilliant display late on, though Forest were still indebted to 𒁃Matz Sels, who denied Jorge🦂n Strand Larsen from point-blank range with the scoreline at 1-0 in the first half.
Larsenꦰ was the hero in Wolves' last outing, a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, but w🍎asted a host of glorious opportunities after also seeing a first-half effort cleared off the line by Murillo with the goal at this mercy.
Vitor Pereira was left to rue those missed chౠances as he suffered a first defeat in charge of Wolves – his team remain 17th, just clear of the relegation zone and 18th-placed Ipswich Town on goal difference.
Data Debrief: Forest flying under Nuno
Forest's success has been built on their deadly finishing and a strong backline – indeed♚, no side has kept more than their nine clean sheets in the Premier League this season.
Nuno's side managed their fourth straight league game without conceding here, too, achieving that many top-flight clean sheets in a row for the first tim𝄹e since a five-match run in March 1992.
At the other end of th𒊎e pitch, W🗹ood found the net for an eighth time in the Premier League when facing Wolves, his joint-most goals against an opponent in the competition (also eight versus West Ham).
Gibbs-White has also had a hand in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances for Forest (three goals, three assists), netting in back-꧟to-back games for the first time since April 2023.
In stark contrast, Wolves' maiden defeat under Perei𒁃r🍷a came after they failed to score at Molineux for the first time in 12 Premier League games since a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth in April 2024.
