Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Nottingham Forest moved level on points with Arsenal in the Premier League’s top three as goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi earned them a 3-0 win away at Wolves.Only Liverpool have won more games in the Premier League this season than Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest side, who picked up their 12th victory of the season with a ruthless display at Molineux, punishing the home side twice on the break in the first half before shutting the game down in the second, with Awoniyi adding gloss in stoppage time.The result is a first defeat as Wolves boss for Vitor Pereira in his fourth game in charge, and the head coach will have been frustrated by a number of missed chances in the first half, most notably from young striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.But while Wolves will lick their wounds and go again in their battle for survival in the Premier League, Forest will have far loftier aspirations after a result that leaves them just six points off the top of the table and with realistic talk of a title challenge moving ever closer.Talking Point – Nottingham Forest, title challengers?Forest are flying, and are now just six points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. The next Premier League fixture for Forest is against the league leaders, and if they win that then the rest of the league will be forced to wake up to the reality that this is a genuine title challenge from Espirito Santo’s side. Even if they do not go on to battle for the title, every win on this run will strengthen Forest’s grip on one of the European qualification places, which in itself would be a huge achievement for a club on the rise.Player of the Match – Morgan Gibbs-WhiteThe home fans took great pleasure in booing their former midfielder Gibbs-White in the opening stages of the match, but he silenced the crowd by playing a huge part in a high-quality counter-attack before finishing the move off himself to put Forest a goal up early on. The playmaker worked tirelessly all evening for his team and showed the flashes of quality that Wolves just did not possess on the night.

WOLVES 0-1 FOREST (GIBBS-WHITE): The visitors break at pace and Morgan Gibbs-White picks up the ball in acres of space in the centre of the park. The midfielder, who has been booed relentlessly by his former club’s fans in the opening stages, plays a one-two with Elanga before slotting his finish home. 1-0 Forest.13’ – OFF THE LINE! It should be an equaliser as Hwang does superbly, latching on to a loose pass and bursting into the box. He cuts back onto his right, flicks the ball to a waiting Strand Larsen, who is denied by the final defender on the line.29’ – STRAND LARSEN SHOULD SCORE: A wonderful cross from the left by Gomes is met by the head of Strand Larsen, who really should score but puts his close-range effort straight at the keeper.44’ – GOAL! WOLVES 0-2 FOREST (WOOD): This game is pure Forest. A long clearance finds Hudson-Odoi, who has Doherty one-on-one. He takes him on, gets around the outside, and cuts the ball back for the only Forest player waiting in the box, Chris Wood, who turns his finish home. The scoreline feels deeply unfair on the balance of play, but Forest’s gameplan has been executed to perfection. 2-0.90+4’ – GOAL! WOLVES 0-3 FOREST (AWONIYI): That’s the cherry on top for Nottingham Forest as substitute Taiwo Awoniyi turns the ball into an empty net after being teed up by Ward-Prowse at the end of a ruthless counter-attack. 3-0.Key StatsNottingham Forest have now won six Premier League matches in a row.This win was Forest’s 12th of the season.
