Chris Wood scores 13th goal in Nottingham Forest draw with leaders Liverpool

All Whites striker Chris Wood has continued his fine scoring run after giving Nottingham Forest the lead in their 1-1 English Premier League draw against leaders Liverpool this morning.

Before the outing, Liverpool was the only current Premier League side that Wood hadn’t scored a goal against.

That lasted less than 10 minutes as he opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a first-time left foot strike following a through ball from Anthony Elanga into the box.

It was Wood’s 13th league goal of the season. Forest took the 1-0 lead into the break but couldn’t hand Liverpool a third league defeat of the season.

Diogo Jota levelled the score for the visitors in the 66th minute as the game ended in a stalemate.

The draw sees Forest move into second place on 41 points, six back from Liverpool. Third-placed Arsenal are on 40 points and take on rivals Tottenham tomorrow morning.

In other matches this morning, defending champions Manchester City were held to a 2-2 draw with 10th-placed Brentford while Chelsea needed an stoppage-time equaliser from Reece James to avoid a defeat to Bournemouth.

Meanwhile West Ham earned a 3-2 win over Fulham, their first under new manager Graham Potter.
