Nottingham Forest delivered a dominant performance as they crushed Brighton & Hove Albion 7-0 in the Premier League. The emphatic win saw Chris Wood net a hat-trick, while Morgan Gibbs-White, Neco Williams, Jota Silva, and a Lewis Dunk own goal completed the rout.

The victory marks a strong response from Forest following their 5-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the previous match. It also propels them level on points with Arsenal in second place, though they remain behind on goal difference.

Wood’s hat-trick takes his season tally to 17 Premier League goals, placing him just behind Mohamed Salah (19) and Erling Haaland (18) in the race for the Golden Boot.

With this result, Nottingham Forest strengthens its push for European qualification, while Brighton faces further struggles in an inconsistent campaign.
