Nottingham Forest raised hopes of an unexpected Premier League title challenge after securing their sixth consecutive win, defeating Wolves 3-0 at home on Monday.
Their impressive form under Nuno Espirito Santo continued at Molineux, with first-half goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood, followed by a late goal from Taiwo Awoniyi.
This victory marked the first time since 1979, when Brian Clough was at the helm, that Forest recorded six wins in the top flight.

Nuno may be on the verge of recreating the success Clough achieved, as Forest now trail league leaders Liverpool by six points. Liverpool will visit the City Ground next week for a highly anticipated showdown.
It was a particularly rewarding evening for former Wolves player Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who impressed England manager Thomas Tuchel with a goal and an assist, respectively.
Wolves, missing key player Matheus Cunha, find themselves struggling at the bottom of the table. They suffered their first loss under new manager Vitor Pereira, with three missed opportunities in the first half proving costly.
