The win was the first time Forest had scored seven goals in 30 years and gave the club their biggest ever Premier League win.
It also saw Chris Wood score his 17th goal of the season – his best ever total in the top flight – with a fine hat-trick.
Wood also became the Forest player to score a top-flight hat-trick at the City Ground since Nigel Clough against QPR in December 1987
So, as you would expect, there’s some impressive scores here in match reporter Stephen Thirkill’s player ratings. (Subs after 80 minutes are not rated). Take a look and see if you agree.
5. Ola Aina - 7
Solid in defensive duties throughout. Failed to get into the game offensively during the first half but got forward with some good runs in the second half. Photo: Getty Images
6. Danilo - 9
An impressive performance considering it was his first start since suffering a broken ankle on the opening day of the season. Anchored the midfield well with plenty of energy to allow Forest to boss the game. Played Gibbs-White in as part of Forest's opening goal. Photo: Getty Images
7. Elliot Anderson - 8
Worked well with Danilo throughout the game to give Forest control. Excellent work-rate and pressing game. Photo: Getty Images
8. Neco Williams - 7
A confident display from the Welshman. Close to getting a goal in the first half and got his reward with a goal in the closing moments. Photo: Getty Images
