Is there a more in-form striker than Chris Wood in the Premier League?
The New Zealand international grabbed his sixth goal of the season against Leicester City, restoring his side’s advantage after Leicester City had drawn level.
It means that he sits behind only Erling Haaland in the goalscoring charts for this season, but his purple patch has been going on for far longer.
In fact, since Nuno Espirito Santo’s first game in charge of Forest, only Haaland can better his non-penalty record of 16 goals, with the Norwegian scoring 18 in that time.

He’s turning into a bargain for Forest.
