Nottingham Forest beat Brighton 7-0, Nuno said it was a dream game

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo said the team's 7-0 win over Brighton far exceeded his expectations and that this resounding victory not only helped them recover from last week's disastrous defeat but also rekindled their hopes of winning the European Championship.

After losing 0-5 to Bournemouth in the last round, Forest had their best performance of the season in this game, as they secured the victory before halftime. This big win was also Forest's biggest score in the English top league in 34 years.

Nuno said after the game: "We hope to respond and the team has the responsibility to do better. Last week's performance was far from enough, and today the players' response exceeded our expectations."

"I have been paying attention to the team's current state and hope it can continue. As for whether it is the best performance, it is difficult to draw a conclusion."

"The players showed a strong desire to win and they wanted to prove their strength. Morgan (Gibbs-White) performed well and Anthony (Elanga) was amazing, providing three assists. Overall, every player played very well."

Nuno further added: "This game showed the team's fighting spirit, but we must also realize that such a score is not common in the Premier League. Whether it was a big defeat last week or a big win this week, they were extreme situations."

"When you're on the losing side it's tough. We went through that last week and we responded the same way today."

"This was a fantastic game, what more could you ask for? Compared to last week's loss, today was a world of difference. However, I hope the team can maintain balance and not have too many ups and downs, but move forward steadily."
