The match began with Forest taking the lead through a well-crafted goal from Ryan Yates, showcasing the visitors' intent. However, veteran Jamie Vardy responded for Leicester, scoring in his second consecutive match at almost 38 years old, sending the teams into halftime level.

After the break, the spotlight shifted to Chris Wood. The New Zealand international was in unstoppable form, scoring twice to secure the win for Forest. Wood's brace took his season total to seven goals, placing him firmly in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.

Forest's impressive run includes an away victory at Anfield against Liverpool and a draw at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. It's a remarkable turnaround for a team that only narrowly escaped relegation last season, finishing 16th. With their eyes now set on European football, Nottingham Forest's resurgence under Espírito Santo continues to gather momentum.
