"Nostalgia was in full supply ahead of kick-off, with most of the living players from that famous night paraded on the City Ground pitch as well as a two-minute film projected onto the Brian Clough Stand. And although the stakes were much lower this time in a league phase match, Forest were again victorious thanks to goals from Ryan Yates, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Nikola Milenkovic. The current crop have their own desires of triumphing in Europe and kept themselves in contention for finishing in the top eight of a congested league table after five games."
"Victory for Forest continued the upward trend under boss Sean Dyche, who has now delivered three wins in a row amid a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions, with the unsettling spell at the start of the season seemingly behind them. Dyche's men took advantage of coming up against a Malmö side who were playing their first competitive match since Nov. 9. Callum Hudson-Odoi dragged a shot wide in just the third minute while Nicolás Domínguez also put a spearing header just off target."
