Ola Aina’s Forest win fifth game in a row to strengthen top four credentials

Stephen Oladehinde 17:49 - 29.12.2024

Nottingham Forest claimed an important victory against Everton and leapfrogged Arsenal in the Premier League table.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s men head into the game having won their last four games in a row, with their last win coming against Tottenham.

They continue their impressive form, defeating Everton 2-0 and increasing their winning streak to five games.

As it happened 

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was replaced in attack by Armando Broja as part of Everton's changes from Thursday's 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

Nottingham Forest also made two changes from the side that beat Tottenham 1-0 last time out. Aina continues in defence but plays as a wingback.

Forest played the first half on the front foot and their attacking threat got rewarded with a goal, which was scored by Woods.

The visitors doubled their lead in the second half after a nice play ended with Morgan Gibbs-White, who worked a bit of space for the shot and finished clinically.

Everton could not find a solution to Forest’s attack and also failed to cause any threat to kickstart a comeback until the final whistle was blown.
