Everton 0-2 Nottingham Forest

at Goodison Park

ARSENAL, Chelsea and Manchester City have all failed to defeat Everton in the previous three games but Nottingham Forest showed why they deserve to be second in the Premier League at the end of the weekend with a convincing 2-0 win at Goodison Park.

Chris Wood has a case to be considered the best striker in the Premier League and added an 11th goal of the season this afternoon, lifting the ball over Jordan Pickford to open the scoring.

Wood made 165 appearances under Sean Dyche when both were at Burnley, scoring 53 goals. How the Everton boss must wish he had a player of the New Zealander’s ilk at his disposal now.
