Aston Villa V Nottingham Forest: Premier League – Live | Premier League
Key events
23 min: … and now Forest Miss for centimeters to the left of the goal. Yates wins possession in the central circle and sends Hudson-Aodoi along the internal channel on the right. His low Bobbler flies only off from the pole on the left.
22 min: … but where Elanga is, there is always hope for Forest and the attacker replies almost his goal against Manchester United with a burning dribbling along the internal channel. It goes up to the edge of the box before launching a low effort through Martinez and widely on the right.
21 min: Williams gets around, allowing Asensio to steal with the ball. The forest defender, so sloppy there, is lucky that the resulting shot is blocked.
19 min: Garcia, Malen and Watkins have almost opened the forest with an intricate triangulation on the right. Not entirely, but Villa is stroking him in that style that a third goal in a short time would not be a shock.
17 min: Two minutes and 18 seconds between the objectives. The forest needs an answer and their captain Yates has a excavation on the best part of 30 yard. His shot is diverted to the left. From the resulting corner, Dominguez sends a speculative effort miles off to the left. Fans of the house are Fête.
OBJECTIVE! Aston Villa 2-0 Nottingham Forest (Malen 15)
This is another simple and beautiful goal. Maatsen hits Yates inside and outside, sliding in front of him along the left. A low cross is thrown home by Malen by six Yard, Williams nowhere. Villa playing with such trust!
OBJECTIVE! Aston Villa 1-0 Nottingham Forest (Rogers 13)
This is simple and so effective. Tielemans caresses a passage of the internal channel on the left for Rogers, which is touched to enter the box before whistling a low shot through the legs of Sels and at the bottom right. Only 13 minutes, but had arrived.
11 min: Sky flashes a statistics: Villa has already made 12 successful passages in the last third of the forest. Foul 15, while the guests probe in this way and that, with Garcia, disappearance and Maatsen who buzz.
10 min: Malen chases a long passage to the right. Murillo evokes all his forces to keep him out and inaugurate the ball for a goal kick. Only only, mind.
9 min: A space pocket for Tielemans, in a central position, 25 meters away. Mira on the upper left corner but everything is wrong, dragging him wide miles. The home team is a lot at the top in these early stages and are already creating possibilities.
8 min: Garcia is good for the right contact line and it curls a low cross in the forest box. Asensio extends one leg and tries to drive the ball in the lower left corner, but the effort always rebounds to the left. Sels would not get there.
6 min: Matsen One-Twos crunchy with Rogers along the left. He enters the box and hits a low and hard blow that Sels is good to beat away with a strong arm. It would have been a nice goal.
5 min: Watkins descends deeply and has the opportunity to escape Malen on the right, but he worsens the passage straight to Yates. Villa on the front foot of the first doors.
4 min: Elanga plays a ball on the right for Dominguez. Rogers intercepts and holds his opponent before shooting and canceling, but he needed to fight hard to do it. Dominguez an adequate parasite. Rogers defends himself very well.
3 min: Asensio advances the internal channel on the right before playing a ball forward for absolutely nobody. Watkins cannot do the expected race. Objective kick.
2 min: Forest-which deliberately kept their hosts waiting before the kick-off, forming a haste that went a little longer than it was absolutely necessary to kick towards the end of Holte in this first half.
The forest rolls the ball. But only after a knee has been taken: there is no room for racism.
The teams are out! Villa in their famous Chiaretto and blue, forest in blue in second choice powder. Steam jets and fireworks. A show that would be spectacular if it were not overcome by the burning sun. We will be outside a couple of your British summer minutes.
Nuno Espírito Santo speaks to Sky. “It will be very difficult … Villa is a great team … we expect a very hard game … unfortunately both (Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi) are out, so we have to try to find solutions.”
Unai Emery talks to Sky Sports. “Good afternoon … we made changes to Brighton and Brentford and we won there … I think in the players … they are ready to play … the good news in the team is now that we can have players in the recovery phase.”
They should win Forest tonight, they would have completed their first double in the championship on the villa by the 1984-85 Canon League division. The forest won this appliance 5-0 That season, Trevor Christie with a hat -trick, Ian Bowyer and Steve Hodge with the other goals. Anyway, that’s what happened at the City Ground at the beginning of this season.
Here’s how the Premier League The table deals with these results …
-
Crystal Palace 2-1 Brighton and Hove Albion
-
Everton 1-1 Arsenal
-
Ipswich Town 1-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
-
West Ham United 2-2 Bournemouth
This evening’s game represents an opportunity for Nottingham Forest To fill the gap on the Arsenal to three points. Second place away from a pipe dream now, especially with Mikel Arte’s team worried about the Champions League. Villa also has an eye in Europe, but they will still want to guarantee participation for the next season through the top five, so the closing of Manchester City would help with this.
The Aston Villa, which has won the last six games in all competitions, brings eight changes to their initial XI after the 3-0 victory in Brighton & Hove Albion. Wednesday’s trip to PSG clearly high in mind. Only Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans and Emiliano Martínez, the latter captain for the day, keep their places. Tyrone Mings, Andrés García, Axel disappearance, Ian Maatsen, Amadou Onana, Donyell Malen, Ollie Watkins and Marco Asensio increase; John McGinn, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Lucas Digne, Pau Torres, Jacob Ramsey, Boubacar Kamara and Marcus Rashford fall on the bench.
Nottingham Forest, unbeaten in six, makes three changes to the team that started 1-0 victory over Manchester United. Callum Hudson-Adoi, Morato and Nicolás Domínguez are inside; Danilo descends on the bench while Taiwo Awoniyi and the injured Ola Aina forgive completely. The top scorer Chris Wood is still absent with an hip problem.
