Nottingham Forest moved up to 4th in the Championship table, after a convincing 4-1 victory of Doncaster Rovers.
The Reds' goals came courtesy of an own goal by Gareth Roberts and strikes from Wes Morgan, Robert Earnshaw and substitute Lewis McGugan.
Rovers did pull a goal back late on through Billy Sharp, but they were second best to Forest all game.
Manager Billy Davies decided to put Robert Earnshaw in the starting line up after his goal against Middlesbrough last week ensured a point for the Reds, and it paid off as the Welsh international looked sharp all game and scored a deserved goal in the second half which led to his trademark somersault celebration in front of the Trent End.
It was a performance that deserved three points, and leaves Forest in confident mood ahead of next Saturday's East Midlands showdown with Leicester City, where a win will see Forest go third in the table.
