Forest beat Everton to leapfrog Arsenal up to SECOND

Nottingham Forest moved into second place in the Premier League after beating Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team have now won five consecutive matches. It is the first time they have won as many Premier League matches in a row since 1995.

Chris Wood put them ahead in the 15th minute after combining well with Anthony Elanga before lofting the ball over Jordan Pickford for his 11th league goal of the season.

Morgan Gibbs-White doubled Forest’s tally just after the hour, with Wood turning provider, and only a fine double-save from Pickford denied the visitors a third late on.

Forest’s win moves them, at least temporarily, above Chelsea and Arsenal ahead of their respective fixtures on Monday…
