Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood scored early and late in a two-goal first half and Nottingham Forest's defense stayed stingy, pushing the third-place Tricky Trees to a 3-0 win over Wolves at the Molineux on Monday.

Nuno Espirito Santo was today rewarded for Nottingham Forest’s brilliant recent run by being named December’s Premier League Manager of the Month. Forest enjoyed five victories in the month and, having followed that up with a 3-0 win at Wolves on Monday, now sit in third position, just six points behind Liverpool.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BBC Sport after the win over Wolves: "We played good. We were organised and we had the luck of scoring really early, that settles us down. Wolves reacted well and Matz Sels was very good for us today to keep us in the game but overall it was a good performance."
