Forest's Stunning 3-0 Win at Wolves Keeps Them in Top Four Contention

Posted : 07 January 2025

Nottingham Forest continued their impressive season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Wolves on Monday, marking a successful return to Molineux for manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood before halftime set Forest on their way, pushing them to within six points of Premier League leaders Liverpool, whom they will face in their next match. Substitute Taiwo Awoniyi added a third in stoppage time to seal the win.

 

The defeat leaves Wolves hovering just above the relegation zone, separated only by goal difference, after suffering their first loss under new manager Vitor Pereira. Despite the win, Forest remain in third place but have now tied with Arsenal on points, solidifying their position in the race for Champions League qualification. Their rapid rise from battling relegation last season to becoming top-four contenders is a testament to their strong defense and Chris Wood's impressive form.

 

Forest's pursuit of a top-four finish is looking increasingly realistic, as they maintain a five-point advantage over fifth-placed Newcastle and six points clear of Manchester City in sixth. A spot in the top four would guarantee their return to the Champions League for the first time in 45 years, marking a significant achievement for the two-time European champions. However, depending on other English clubs' European performances, even a fifth-place finish could secure their spot.

 

Gibbs-White, who enjoyed a productive return to his former club, further impressed England's new manager Thomas Tuchel with a composed finish for his goal. Wood's goal just before halftime, his 12th of the season, doubled the lead. While Wolves pressed for a comeback after the break, their efforts lacked bite in the absence of suspended star Matheus Cunha. Forest's defense, led by goalkeeper Mats Sels, stood firm to maintain their fourth consecutive clean sheet and continue their dream-like ascent under Espirito Santo’s guidance.
