"I'm not the sort of player who will beat four defenders to score in the bottom corner. I rely on my teammates to do the work and I try and finish it."


Wood's sixth goal was a turn with a defender on his back for a powerful low down shot. His seventh came from a bouncing ball which he followed and headed nicely over the keeper


The only player with more goals than the All Whites attacker this season is Erling Haaland at Manchester City with 10.


Earlier in the week, Forest beat Crystal Palace 1-0, with Wood scoring the 65th-minute winner. During his celebration, he put the ball under his shirt and sucked his thumb, indicating his wife was pregnant.


Forest are now up to fifth in the standings for the first time since 1995, having lost just once this season in nine matches.
