Wolves 0-3 Nottingham Forest

Matty Fryatt signed for Forest from Hull in the summer

Nottingham Forest strolled to a convincing win at Wolves after scoring three goals in the final 25 minutes.

After an entertaining but goalless first half, Britt Assombalonga's 11th league goal of the season put the visitors in front as he tapped in Matty Fryatt's cross from a yard out.

Fryatt soon doubled the advantage with a header from Henri Lansbury's corner.

Lansbury's neat finish from Michail Antonio's cut back made it three, as Wolves only had one shot on target.

The win for Stuart Pearce's men followed their 2-1 victory against Norwich a fortnight ago and continued something of a mini-revival for Forest, who before that had gone almost two months without tasting success.

On the other hand, Kenny Jackett's Wolves have now lost three league games in a row, their worst run under his tenure.

Debutant Danny Graham, on loan from Sunderland until 31 December, had the first real chance for the hosts when he nipped in to meet Dave Edwards's cross, but his low shot was saved by Karl Darlow.

Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme kept Forest at bay just before the half-hour mark with two fine saves, as he first pushed Lansbury's strike onto the post at full stretch before tipping Fryatt's low curling effort behind.

Moments later, Edwards had the ball in the net for Wolves but it was ruled out for offside.

After the break, Forest began to take control and were rewarded on 65 minutes when former Peterborough man Assombalonga found space to poke in the easiest of chances.

The game was as good as over three minutes later when Fryatt rose highest above a static defence to nod in another close-range effort.

As Wolves pushed forward to look for a way back into the game, Forest broke and Antonio's cross evaded everyone inside the box before it fell to Lansbury who slotted home with a first time finish.

The result sees Forest move back up to eighth, while Wolves are a point behind in 11th.

Wolves manager Kenny Jackett: "That is now 10 goals against in three games and only one scored and that is a big swing. It is obviously something we need to address and very quickly. It is not a one-off situation. As a defence and and a team we need to defend better.

"For the home side our goalkeeper had to work too much. We need to find an equation at the back that stops these goals going in and then going the other way be a threat. Both areas have to be addressed very quickly."

Nottingham Forest manager Stuart Pearce: "Both defensively and offensively we did very well. We had seen that in training over the last couple of weeks. That attitude of the players has been very good. They have had their tails up. We have taken our training performance into the game.

"We have seen first hand how the confidence and the mood of the camp has lifted. Confidence is a real commodity in professional sport we know that. They have been really focused and we are just pleased with the result and performance and we need to keep edging forward."
