Nottingham Forest have their first Championship win of the season after a totally dominant performance against Birmingham City.
The Reds won 3-0, but it could and probably should have been five or six as they ran riot at the City Ground.
Aston Villa fan Joe Lolley scored the first goal with a brilliant strike and set up the second for former Villa striker Lewis Grabban, to give Sabri Lamouchi's side a comfortable 2-0 lead at the interval.
In the second half Forest should have scored more goals than the one plundered by skipper Michael Dawson from a corner, as they repeatedly tore open Pep Clotet's side, only to miss a host of chances.
But that was a minor criticism, as the Reds notched up the first Championship win of Lamouchi's tenure, in hugely impressive fashion.
Samba Sow headed inches wide as Forest went in search of a fourth goal, while Sammy Ameobi was guilty of missing a sitter.
Grabban then spurned another good headed chance and sub Rafa Mir narrowly cleared the bar with a spectacular effort.
Here, Forest correspondent Sarah Clapson gives her verdict on the game.
