NOTTINGHAM Forest's 7-0 thrashing over Brighton left one pub pulling pints nonstop after they promised a free drink for every goal.
The Gedling Inn generously offered punters a fresh beer each time Forest bagged a goal over the weekend - only to end up giving away almost 300.
Punters in a Nottinghamshire pub were gifted a free pint every time Nottingham Forest scored against Brighton
Brighton were put to the sword in the Premier League clash with the Red's star striker Chris Wood scoring a hat-trick as a trio of other names also got on the score sheet.
Nuno Espírito Santo's men delivered the huge win to keep Forest in the hunt for a top four spot in their remarkable season so far.
Despite the massive win, one Nottinghamshire pub was left feeling like they'd scored an own goal.
The Gedling Inn announced on the morning of the match that they were showing the game on TV's in the pub.
To attract fans into the independent, family run business they ran a promotion offering a free pint for every goal scored by Forest.
The deal first appeared as a fun giveaway and a chance for lucky day drinkers to keep their wallets full with the game predicted to be a close affair.
A Lewis Dunk own goal after just 10 minutes left dozens rushing to the bar to snap up a free beer.
But before long Morgan Gibbs-White scored a second, with Chris Wood adding a third before half time.
Landlady Beccy Webster has run the pub for six years and said she was shocked after the first half whistle by the goals.
She said: "I was upstairs feeding my baby when I heard the first goal go in, then the second quickly afterwards, and I had just come downstairs when the third went in - I thought 'here we go'."
In the second half even more goals went in with Chris Wood getting his second and third.
Welshman Neco Williams and winger Jota Silva also managed to get on the score sheet with two late goals.
The seven goal blitz meant punters were able to get a fresh pint every 13 minutes on average across the 90 minutes.
Beccy said: "When the final whistle went, I just said 'phew!'
"Never in my wildest dreams did we imagine they'd score seven goals."
The pub ended up giving away almost 300 free pints during the match.
Beccy remained happy she put on the offer and said it was still a "good day" as the free flowing drinks made the customers grateful and happy to spend the cash saved on more booze and some lunch.
She continued: "People were singing, and people were respectful with the offer.
"Lots of people were still buying drinks, people stayed for food, and lots of people have been asking if we'll be having any more offers on.
"It's just nice to get behind the team - it's good for the whole city, they're putting us on the map."
The Nottingham Forest win has kept them in the Champions League spots as they now sit six above Newcastle in fifth place.
They head to Exeter for the fourth round of the FA Cup next Tuesday before hosting Fulham in the league on the following Saturday.
