All Whites captain Chris Wood has banged home his ninth goal of the Premier League season in another Nottingham Forest win.
Wood converted from the penalty spot in the 49th minute for the match-winner and a club record equalling strike in The Reds' 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town at the City Ground on Saturday (Sunday NZ Time).

The goal saw Wood draw level with Bryan Roy for the most goals for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with 24 from 51 matches. He has 78 Premier League goals in total since 2014-15.
Wood also had shouts for penalties in the 54th and 65th minutes turned down.
Wood needs just five more goals to match his best season in the Premier League - last season with Notts Forest and 2019-20 with Burnley. He has five 10-plus goal seasons since 2017-18.
The three points lifted Notts Forest to sixth on 22 points, just one point behind Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion, joint second-place. Liverpool lead the league on 31 points.
