Chris Wood’s remarkable season reached another milestone today as the New Zealand international became Nottingham Forest’s all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, surpassing Dutchman Bryan Roy’s record. Wood achieved this feat by converting a crucial penalty in Forest’s 1-0 win over newly promoted Ipswich Town at the City Ground.
Forest thriving under Wood's form
The victory sees Nottingham Forest maintain their impressive sixth place in the Premier League standings, a position that could secure them European football next season. The win also helped Forest bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Arsenal in their previous match.
Wood’s penalty not only secured three vital points for his team but also marked his ninth league goal of the season, making him one of the standout performers in the competition.
A Premier League record-breaker
