A draw with EPL leaders Liverpool broke Nottingham's streak of six consecutive wins, but Forrest quickly forgot that match and beat Southampton.

Espirito Santo's team managed a blitzkrieg in the first half - three unanswered goals flew into the opponents' goal.

Gibbs-White should have closed the match in the 55th minute, but he managed to shoot past the goal from the line. And the opponents came to life and almost saved the game - Ugochukwu scored the Saints' first goal and in added time Onuachu converted Fernandes' cross with a great header.

However, Nottingham held on to their 3-2 lead and returned to winning ways.
