In the Premier League, Nottingham Forest continues to score very big points. Matz Sels and his teammates also took the scalp of Aston Villa, which allows them to enter the top 4 for the moment.
After a strong comeback in the final moments, they won 2-1. Both teams were aiming for fourth place, which unfortunately resulted in a very tight first half. After 45 minutes without chances, the 0-0 at half-time was logical. The second half also started on the same basis.
Double disappointment for Nottingham Forest
But after an hour of play, the match finally got heated. The home side looked set to take the lead when a corner kick allowed Dominguez to head back, but Martinez cleared the ball off the line with a last-ditch save.
Things then accelerated on the pitch, where Duran thought he would score the winning goal (0-1). Forest seemed to have his back against the wall, but got back in the saddle.
However, he had to endure another disappointment eight minutes before the end of the match, when Wood’s equalizer was disallowed for offside by the VAR.
Strong comeback in the final minutes
But in the final minutes, Forest gained the upper hand over their opponent. Milenkovic headed the 1-1 goal and, in stoppage time, Elanga punished Villa’s loss of possession by scoring the winning goal. As a result, Forest temporarily overtook Manchester City to take fourth place in the table. Villa misses another unique opportunity and remains stuck in sixth place.
