Jesus’ brace continued the Brazilian’s electric start to life at the City Ground, scoring four goals in two starts since Postecoglou took over.

“From Chris’ point of view, he won’t be happy tonight, he will be want to be out there in big games like this.”
Wood, who has started both of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League games under Postecoglou this season, is yet to score for the Australian.
