Nottingham Forest have performed like a shining star in the Premier League this season, with their rise to prominence being mind-bogglingly fast. On Saturday night (2), they beat West Ham United 3-0 with a clean sheet at home. Meanwhile, the match between Aston Villa and Chelsea was delayed by a day for some reason, and Arsenal came third in the unexpected delay. It was a reminder of the glory of 1988, the year Forest also finished in the top four in the top flight.
Nottingham Forest put West Ham United to the sword with goals from Keith Walker, Hussey Oduor and Ola Egba, winning three games in a row, and in September, they beat fierce rivals Liverpool with an impressive victory. Forest's metamorphosis from on the brink of relegation last season to top-four contenders is amazing. The contribution of coach Newman cannot be underestimated. The 50-year-old Portuguese, who suffered dismissals at Tottenham Hotspur and the Etihad, now has a family who are finally proud of him.
It's worth noting that striker Keith Walker has been particularly impressive this season, scoring eight goals in 10 league games and contributing to Forest's rise.
