Match Report
Forest recorded their biggest victory since the 1997/98 season with a 7-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.
Looking for a response to the result away at Bournemouth, Nuno made two changes to the starting eleven, Danilo and Morato coming in to replace Ryan Yates and Jota Silva, and a returning Ibrahim Sangare named on the bench.
Forest made the breakthrough shortly after the ten-minute mark, Danilo, returning to Premier League action for the first time since August, playing in Morgan Gibbs-White, who fizzed a ball across the face of goal from the right and forced Lewis Dunk to prod into his own net.
The Reds doubled their lead shortly after, with Anthony Elanga delivering a corner to the near post, where Gibbs-White arrived to loop the ball past Bart Verbruggen, securing his second goal involvement of the afternoon on his 100th appearance for the Club.
