Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood has been continuing his fine form in front of goal while on international duty by scoring two goals in one minute to help New Zealand seal an 8-1 victory over Vanuatu in World Cup qualifying.

The 32-year-old was awarded Premier League player of the month for October, becoming the first New Zealander and also the first Reds player to win the prize.

Wood has been involved in top-flight stints with West Brom, Leicester City, Burnley, Newcastle United and Forest - but it is at the City Ground where he seems to have found his career-best form.

And he will be hoping to improve his eight goals in 11 league games so far this season when the Premier League returns on 23 November.
