Forest won away, making it five on the bounce, and putting them into second place in the Premier League! A goal and an assist for Chris Wood showcased the Reds' ability on the counter-attack, with Morgan Gibbs-White getting the second, and it could have been more with Sosa, Williams, Elanga and Awoniyi forcing decent saves from Jordan Pickford. A toothless Everton were no match for Milenković and Morato at centre back. George Edwards reports back from Goodison, with a view from the home end by a rather frustrated Mike from the Unholy Trinity Podcast. Presented by Rich Ferraro with The 1865 Podcat.

It was a misty afternoon on the banks of the Trent and a Happy Christmas for Reds fans, who watched their team climb to third in the table with a victory over Spurs. As ever, it was built on defensive resolve and counter-attacking might, with Anthony Elanga getting the decisive strike. At the other end, former Red Brennan Johnson came closest, but his promotion-winning alumnus Djed Spence was probably pick of the visiting players, despite his late sending off. Rich Ferraro is joined by Baz to discuss the game, the tactics and the yellow cards! We'll be back after the Everton game on the 29th - come on you Reds!

It was another impressive victory for the Reds, this time inflicting Brentford's first defeat at the GTech Community Stadium this season, and keeping a clean sheet to boot. Nuno elected to stiffen up the defence by moving to a back three, and although Forest arguably took a little while to warm up, the result was never in doubt once Ola Aina put the visitors in front, with Anthony Elanga taking advantage of mistake to double the lead in the second half. Our match report is brought to you by George Edwards and Tom Newton, both fresh back from west London. Stay tuned for a festive edition of our Football Terrorists podcast on Christmas Eve, before we bring you reports on the games against Tottenham and Everton.

It was a brilliant last gasp win for the Reds in a match that had it all - a war of tactical attrition, controversial VAR decisions, one of the greatest saves in modern football history and two late goals pushing the Reds into fourth (FOURTH) position in the Premier League. George Edwards and The Maradona Of The Midlands report after a cold night in Nottingham that saw the City Ground heat up in the last thirty minutes. Nuno was happy, Emery was not, but nights like this give Forest supporters belief that maybe we are watching the real deal. We'll be back later on this week with our news roundup and Brentford preview.

Almost thirty years to the day since a number 10 from Stafford scored a winning goal for Forest at Old Trafford, history pretty much repeated itself. It was a little nerve-wracking at times but in truth Forest were really good value for the win, which lifted them to fifth place in the Premier League table. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton report on a great day for Forest fans, in which goals from Milenković, Gibbs-White and a record-setting finish from Chris Wood saw the Reds take the points. We'll be back with the Friday 5 at the end of the week and our Villa report after next Saturday evening's game.
