Nottingham Forest have been a whirlwind of activity in the Premier League this season, how did they beat West Ham 3-0 at home on Saturday night (2nd)? The rise of this 'magical division' has not only surprised fans, but has also led to the Aston Villa-Chelsea clash not being decided until the following day, with Arsenal temporarily in third place, but who can predict the future of the table? Since 1988, Forest have once again broken into the top four of the top flight.
Keith Hart, Hershey O'Doul and Ola Elgar each scored a goal to put West Ham to shame, while Forest won their third league game in a row. They had already beaten a strong Liverpool side in September, a performance that was impressive enough. Forest's metamorphosis from on the brink of relegation last season to a top-four finish this season could not have been achieved without the outstanding contribution of leader Newnor. The 50-year-old Portuguese coach, who suffered sackings at Tottenham and the Etihad, now has a family who are finally proud of him.
It's worth noting that striker Keith Hart has had a particularly good season, scoring eight goals in 10 league games to add to Forest's huge achievements.
