Former Wolves player Morgan Gibbs-White helped in-form Nottingham Forest to beat Wolves in a Premier League match on Monday night
Gibbs-White who left Wolves for Forest in 2022 scored the first goal to silence the jeers from the home fans.
Chris Wood scored the second his 12th goal of the season just before half-time before Taiwo Awoniyi tapped in a third after a counter-attack in stoppage time.
Yet the hosts had their chances with Joao Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen seeing efforts saved by Forest keeper Matz Sels, while Larsen was also thwarted by Murillo’s goalline clearance.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remain third in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who they host in their next league game on 14 January. They are behind second-placed Arsenal on goal difference after a sixth straight victory – the first time they have won six successive top-flight matches in the same season in 58 years.
Wolves were the latest vanquished foes as Vitor Pereira suffered his first defeat since replacing Gary O’Neil as manager last month.
