Nottingham Forest produced an incredible display at City Ground, beating Brighton 7-0 in the Premier League.
The hosts have shown no mercy, bouncing their recent 5-0 defeat against Bournemouth.
Chris Wood was an out -of -competition interpreter, marking a superb hat -trick to bring his count of the season to 17 goals.
His first came halfway from the first half, the forest already displaying domination in possession and pressing Brighton in the errors.
The second and third goals of Wood arrived in the second half, the latter from the penalty point after the reckless fault of Tyriq Lamptey on Morgan Gibbs-White. Wood slipped the kick in the lower right corner, completing his hat-trick and sealed a memorable day for himself and the club.
Anthony Elaga also organized a special performance, offering three assists with its brand pace and its franchise.

His driving race and precise cut installed wood for Forest’s fourth goal, and he continued to disturb Brighton’s background line throughout. Neco Williams added his name to the match sheet with a swinging finish in the upper left corner after Brighton failed to erase their lines.
Brighton, for their part, seemed so that departure. The defensive errors tormented their performance, the goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen by undergoing a nightmarish afternoon.
His moved pass at the end of the match offered Jota Silva his first forest goal, capping the rout. Verbruggen’s frustration has boiled, winning a yellow card for dissent in the last moments.
Despite Brighton’s attempts to recover a certain dignity, with the efforts of Rutter and O’riley forcing the backups of the Imperious salts, the defense of Forest remained tight. The tips of salts to refuse the O’riley free kick of Curling testified to its shape this season, keeping its white leaf intact.
The victory marks the greatest victory of Forest’s Premier League in recent history and considerably raises mood after their previous defeat against cherries.
For Brighton, this heavy loss raises questions about their defensive organization, in particular given their strong performances earlier in the season.
