Alious impressive Premier League campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over West Ham, marking their third consecutive win. The triumph featured goals from Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Ola Aina, further cementing their strong home record ahead of their upcoming clash with Newcastle United.
The team’s recent performances have garnered widespread acclaim from football pundits. Robbie Earle has confidently dismissed relegation concerns, while Jamie O’Hara has praised manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s impact. The club’s more measured approach to recruitment during pre-season appears to be paying dividends.
At the heart of Forest’s success is Chris Wood, who has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most prolific strikers. His latest goal, a clinical header assisted by Alex Moreno, brought his season tally to an impressive eight goals in ten appearances. ESPN analyst Luis Miguel Echegaray made headlines by comparing Wood’s current form to that of legendary striker Gerd Müller, while highlighting Forest’s remarkable rise to third place.
Wood is now on track to surpass Bryan Roy’s club record of 24 Premier League goals for Forest. Having already moved ahead of Stan Collymore to become second on Forest’s all-time Premier League scoring list, Wood’s transformation into one of the league’s most formidable forwards has earned praise from football legend Alan Shearer, who considers this the striker’s career-best form.
While the Müller comparison might be somewhat hyperbolic, it reflects the growing respect Wood has earned through his performances. From being questioned by many to becoming one of the Premier League’s most feared attackers, his journey exemplifies Forest’s broader resurgence under Nuno’s leadership.
