Former Nottingham Forest and Everton striker hits 12-minute hat-trick in 13-0 win

Former Nottingham Forest striker Apostolos Vellios led the way as his current club racked up a 13-0 victory.

The well-travelled Greek forward was on Forest’s books between 2016 and 2019, although his final season was spent out on loan at Belgian club Waasland-Beveren. He scored eight goals in 45 games, with final appearance in the Garibaldi coming in a 3-2 defeat at Bolton Wanderers on the final day of the 2017/18 season.

Having cost Forest just under £1m, he joined Greek side Atromitos in a permanent deal in 2019 before spells in Italy, Romania and a return to his homeland.

He now finds himself at PEC Zwolle, who played in the second tier of Dutch football. PEC, who sit at the top of the table, continued their charge towards the Eredivisie with an incredible 13-0 blitz of lowly Den Bosch.

Vellios, who played for Everton between 2011 and 2014, was the destroyer in chief, hitting four goals, including three in the space of just 12 minutes.
