Nottingham Forest secured a commanding 2-0 win over Everton, extending their winning streak to a joint-club record five successive Premier League matches.
Chris Wood’s clever finish and Morgan Gibbs-White’s composed curler sealed the victory, lifting Forest into the top two in the table.
Everton, despite their recent takeover and encouraging results, struggled to create scoring opportunities, with their attack lacking invention and quality.
Jordan Pickford made several crucial saves to prevent a heavier defeat, but Forest’s well-organized defense, featuring a standout performance from Super Eagles star Ola Aina ensured a clean sheet.
The result marked the end of Sean Dyche’s eight-game unbeaten streak against Forest, who now sit in a top-four position heading into the new year for the first time since 1988.
