Oldham 3-0 Nottm Forest

Wellens scored Oldham's opener

Oldham eased past sorry Forest thanks to a rousing second-half display.

A dull opening period saw neither side create a decent opprtunity but the Latics went ahead after the break when Chris Taylor teed up Richie Wellens.

Richard Butcher made it 2-0, jinking past two defenders and firing low into the net from the edge of the box.

Luke Beckett sealed the victory when he took advantage of a defensive lapse to ensure Gary Megson's Forest have now won only once in 10 games
