Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest | England)

Huge game this one. Villa host Forest 2nd leg, Europa League final.
Forest up 1-0 from leg 1.

See that Bindon is back down in Nottingham training, so he'll likely get a ringside seat at Villa Park.
Some of his AWs team mates like Libby, Marko, Garbett & Waine may have also tried to get to this one.

Villa demolished them.

Time for Wood to focus on the World Cup now.

Bugger. Forest lose 4-0. Wood off at 71 mins (2-0).
As AV says maybe Wood's last time playing in a UEFA comp.

Next Forest host Newcastle. Win that and basically they are safe in the EPL for next season.
Wood is equal on 92 EPL goals with Viduka. Be nice if he can score at least more in the 3 Forest games left before season finishes.

Wood on at 73 mins (0-0) in a 1-1 draw

That point combined with West Ham’s loss a few hours later confirms Forest’s premier league status for another year. To secure that with two games remaining is a decent achievement given where they were at times this season. 

Match highlights. Wood nearly tees up Jesus after coming on.

Forest (16th) travel to Man United (3rd)
