Nottingham Forest continues to soar at the top of the Premier League table. Much thanks to the Swede Anthony Elanga. The 22-year-old provided a hat-trick of assists when the team crushed Brighton 7–0. He deserves more credit for his hard work, says teammate Morgan Gibbs-White.

The successful striker Chris Wood continues to pour in goals for Nottingham Forest, which is spectacular.

But someone has to do the preparatory work as well. And that's where Anthony Elanga comes into the picture.

The Swede provided three assists when Nottingham Forest bounced back after a big loss (0-5 against Bournemouth) by crushing Brighton 7-0.

At the team's 2-0 goal, it was Anthony Elanga who took the corner that Morgan Gibbs-White could head in. But after that, it was the duo Wood & Elanga who put on a goal show.

First, the Swede headed Wood's pass to 3-0, and in the second half, the speedy Elanga got past his defender and played Wood free, who angled in 4-0. The Swede has now scored three goals and eight assists this season.

He's incredible. I think he deserves much more credit for all his hard work, he works so hard both on and off the pitch, says Morgan Gibbs-White to BBC about Elanga

Later, Wood also completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot.

The final score was a whopping 7-0 to Nottingham, who continue to be in the top of the Premier League. The team is third in the league after 24 matches.

Brighton's Swede, Yasin Ayari, was missing from the team's match squad.
