Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BBC Sport after the win over Wolves: "We played good. We were organised and we had the luck of scoring really early, that settles us down. Wolves reacted well and Matz Sels was very good for us today to keep us in the game but overall it was a good performance."

On the confidence in the side: "We are OK. The performance and the results help with confidence - you saw Callum Hudson-Odoi today and Anthony Elanga they were confident and creating many problems. This is what we want to see from our players, to feel good on the pitch and to work hard. But before Liverpool we have Luton and we have to think about the FA Cup."

The key stats - did you know?

Nottingham Forest have won six consecutive Premier League games, the longest winning run (across all teams) in the competition this season. Meanwhile, it's the first time Forest have won six successive top-flight matches since May-September 1979 (7 in a row split across two seasons). This is the first time they have six successive wins within a single season since 1966-67 (two runs of six wins).

Forest sit third in the Premier League, behind Arsenal only on goal difference (level on 40 points each). Of the 70 teams to win 40+ points from their first 20 games in a Premier League campaign (prior to 2024-25), only four have failed to finish inside the top four at the end of the season.
