Morgan Gibbs-White, Neco Williams and Jota Silva also scored after an own-goal by Lewis Dunk set the ball rolling at the City Ground for third-placed Forest, which is the surprise of the Premier League this season and moved level on 47 points with Arsenal.

The midfielder surged into the area and slotted home.
