Nottingham Forest stopped the Aston Villa juggernaut in its tracks, beating the Villans 2-0 at home to prevent them from going third in the league table. Villa, who came into the match with three wins in their last four, found themselves trailing early when ex-Chelsea graduate Ola Aina put Forest ahead in the first half. Belgian Orel Mangala added a second for the two-time European Cup winners on the other side of the interval to conclude a comfortable win that saw Forest move up to 12th.
