Match Analysis: Forest in Complete Control
Nottingham Forest delivered an outstanding performance against Malmö, sealing a dominant 3-0 victory in their latest Europa League fixture. Sean Dyche’s men immediately asserted themselves, extending their strong run of form by registering three goals for a third consecutive match.
The home side wasted no time in grabbing the initiative. In the 27th minute, Ryan Yates broke the deadlock with a well-executed finish from the edge of the box, capitalising on Malmö’s defensive lapse. Malmö’s problems deepened just before the interval, as another defensive error gifted Arnaud Kalimuendo the chance to double the lead, which he duly took to put Forest 2-0 ahead at half-time.

Second-Half Dominance and Missed Chances
Forest maintained their momentum after the break. Ten minutes into the second period, following confusion in the Malmö defence from a set-piece, Nikola Milenković capitalised to make it 3-0. The hosts came close to adding a fourth when Kalimuendo struck the post, but the scoreline remained unaltered despite their continued pressure and attacking intent.

Standings Impact
