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.
13. Willy Boly - 6
A fresh pair of legs after replacing Murillo on 72 minutes. Slotted in well but never had a real chance to show what he can do and test himself in what was a foregone conclusion at that stage. Photo: Getty Images
14. Jota Silva - 8
Did exactly what you need from a sub after replacing Gibbs-White on 72mins. Brought plenty of energy and goal threat to the table and capped a good display with a stoppage-time strike. Photo: Getty Images
