Wood broke Bryan Roy's club record with his 25th goal and is third on the Premier League goalscoring tally for the season with 10, behind Mohammed Salah and Erling Haaland, with 13 apiece.


The 54th-minute header should have been dealt with by United's defence with Lisandro Martinez and goalkeeper Andre Onana both left exposed on the line. It made the score 3-1.


Bruno Fernandes scored for United seven minutes later but Forest held them out for the remainder of the match.


"It's fantastic, it's nice that I can keep doing well for the team and that's all I want to do, keep pushing up and getting as many goals as possible for this team," Wood said after the game on Sky Sports.


Forest are currently fifth on the Premier League ladder on 25 points in a condensed top-eight.


Liverpool lead on 35 points, with Chelsea and Arsenal on 28 and Manchester City 27.
