Nottingham Forest defeat Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park
Nottingham Forest secured a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park, marking the club's first Premier League win of the 2026/27 season and ending a 32-year winless streak at the stadium. Liam Delap opened the scoring for Forest shortly after halftime, and although Alysson equalized for Villa, Igor Jesus scored a late winner in the 88th minute.
Forest manager Oliver Glasner received significant praise for his tactical adjustments. Due to late injuries to regular center-backs, Ola Aina was moved into an unfamiliar central defensive role. Aina delivered a composed performance, contributing three tackles and four clearances.
The defeat leaves Aston Villa in a difficult position in the standings, struggling with a lack of goals and recent injuries, including a setback for Pau Torres. Meanwhile, Manchester City secured a notable 1-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite playing with ten men from the 23rd minute following a red card for Fonten.
