34-year-old Chris Wood continues his heroic performance last season!

The Premier League war rekindled, and Nottingham Forest was in the city stadium. With the double score of forward veteran Chris Wood, he defeated Brentford 3-1, and won a good start to the new season! This victory not only belongs to the team, but also to the 34-year-old New Zealand magic striker Chris Wood who shines throughout the game. In the first half, Wood announced to everyone that his goal was still hot. He accurately captured the fighter planes and twice transformed the opportunities created by his teammates (especially Gibbs White, who was in equally outstanding form) into goals, laying the victory for the team early. The 34-year-old veteran proved in the most direct way that he is still the most reliable sharp knife on the Nottingham Forest's forward. It is no accident that

Wood performed such an outstanding performance in the first round of the Premier League in the new season. Looking back on last season, the New Zealand striker has delivered an amazing report card, making 36 appearances, scoring 20 goals and 8 assists, directly participating in 28 goals! For a striker over 30 years old, and in the fiercely competitive Premier League, he can continue to maintain such high efficiency, which is a perfect interpretation of "latecomer". With his continuous goals and contributions, he firmly occupied the core position of Forest's offense, and undisputedly confirmed the throne of "the No. 1 Person in New Zealand's Football History".

Now Chris Wood's name has been engraved in the honor book of Premier League history, and it can even be said to be side by side with the legend. After scoring twice in this game, New Zealand striker further consolidated his position as the Premier League scorer in Nottingham Forest team history. Last season, Wood scored 36 Premier League goals, surpassing Nottingham Forest legend Brian Roy (a Premier League record of 24 goals) and becoming the Premier League scorer in Nottingham Forest team history. What is even more shocking is that Wood also maintains the record of Burnley's Premier League scorer king (49 goals).

This also means that Chris Wood becomes the second player in Premier League history to be the Premier League scorer king in two different clubs after England's legendary scorer Alan Hiller (Blackburn & Newcastle United). This is an extraordinary achievement that can be recorded in history, demonstrating Wood's extraordinary ability to continuously and stably score goals in different team environments. He is not only a powerful tool for the team to capture the city, but also left an indelible mark on the Premier League history of the club he plays for. Chris Wood’s career trajectory is written with stories of persistence and efficiency, from Burnley’s forward pillar to Nottingham Forest’s offensive soul. At 34, for many forwards, it may be a career dusk, but for Wood, his shooting boots are still hot and his legend is still being continued. The double-shooting guns in the first round of the new season are a continuation of his hot state last season, and it also announces to the entire Premier League: This late-achieving double-team shooter king is still a penalty area killer that no defender wants to face! Forest fans have reason to look forward to the veteran's hot state, which can lead the team further in the new season! ! !
