Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club that Nottingham Forest “don’t over-play or over-press” and their performances have been a collective effort.

“Nuno [Espirito Santo] has his own identity and people may view that as negative but they have a lovely balance. And for all the criticism of the owner – and he has been heavily criticised over the past couple of seasons, and some it deservedly so – he is an owner who is super-ambitious.

“They’ve got the pace in wide areas and the skill in Hudson-Odoi and Elanga. They don’t concede many goals and Milenkovic has been a sensational signing.

“And Chris Wood is banging the goals in. People call him old-fashioned but I think that’s slightly unfair. He’s an excellent centre-forward.”
