Chris Wood spot-on as Nottingham Forest beat Ipswich to get back on track

The prospect of Chris Wood writing his name in the Nottingham Forest history books or the team being sixth in the Premier League seemed somewhat outlandish when Nuno Espírito Santo was appointed head coach last December. Less than a year later both are true after the striker fired home his ninth of the season to down Ipswich.

When Nuno arrived for a relegation battle, Wood had been a perennial substitute under Steve Cooper but quickly became a firm favourite of his replacement and has repaid him with consistent goals. Wood finds himself the club’s joint-top Premier League scorer with Bryan Roy after holding his nerve to settle a tight encounter.
