Wood scored a penalty early in the second halꦍf to nudge Forest ahead at the City Ground, and though the hosts were unable to add to their lead, they held on 🌳to snap a run of two straight defeats in the Premier League.

Forest's win lifted them to sixth, and key to their fine season has been the form of Wood, whose goal took him to 24 in the top🎶 f𓆏light for the club.

That means Wood is now leve🌜l with Bryan Roy when it comes to Forest's all-time leading Premier Leagu𝓀e goalscorers.

Nuno told Sky Sports: "We are deli𓆉ghted t꧃o keep seeing him breaking records here and in New Zealand because he is a great person.

"The ma꧂in goal was to bounce back from the two previous games. I still believe it has to be like that to෴ go in the game and fight."

Wood, meanwhile, insisted individual records are not his t⭕op prioꩲrity.

"It's fantastic but I want to keep going and keep pushing," he told⛎ 🎉BBC Sport.

"The team is delivering chances and o♔pportunities. It's easy when they're putting them on a plate."

Kieran McKꩵenna, meanwhile, had no complaints about t🍌he penalty decision which consigned his Ipswich team to defeat.

Jota Silva went down under the 🤡challenge of Sam Szmodics.

Many of the Ipswich players angrily protested the decision made 🐲by referee Tony Harrin🐼gton but McKenna held a different view.

He told BBC Sport: "I can understand why it was givenಌ. He lunged in from behind and you're giving the referee a decision to make. I've not seen it close up but I can see why it was given in real time.&quo🦩t;

💝MꦏcKenna, though, was encouraged by his side's first-half display.

He said: "We had🎶 plenty of moments in thജe first half. We had chances, we had a lot of pressure. The first goal felt important and on another day, we would have got it. Fine margins."
