Forest suffered their first Premier League defeat since early December at Vitality Stadium, but they rallied to victory in front of their home fans, recording their largest-ever triumph over the Seagulls.
Lewis Dunk accidentally turned Morgan Gibbs-White’s low cross into his own net from close range in the 12th minute, giving Nuno Espirito Santo’s team the lead.
Just after the break, Wood headed home Anthony Elanga’s cross for his 15th Premier League goal of the season, the most he has scored in a single campaign. Gibbs-White had extended the home team’s lead with a glanced header from Elanga’s corner.
Yankuba Minteh shot directly at Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels in a one-on-one, but Brighton was unfortunate not to score before halftime.
