Forest, however, had no intention of letting the game slip away.
Almost immediately after the restart, they found a response.
A loose pass in midfield allowed the visitors to recover possession, and what followed was a messy sequence of exchanges around the Wigan penalty area.
Wigan struggled to clear their lines.
And unfortunately for the home side, one attempted clearance fell straight back to a Forest player.
The player in question, Morgan Gibbs-White, tried to find a body in the box, but it was blocked.
Somehow, the ball eventually found its way into the box again, and this time, Forest made it count.
Chris Wood deftly controlled the ball, and after that, his low effort found its way through the bodies in front of Amos, leaving the goalkeeper unable to prevent it from crossing the line.
The away supporters quickly rallied in the stands, finally had something to celebrate, and Forest's players quickly gathered the ball to get the game moving again.
