Nottingham Forest Ends 32-Year Winless Streak at Villa
Nottingham Forest achieved a significant milestone by winning at Aston Villa for the first time in 32 years, with Igor Jesus scoring a late winner in the 88th minute. This victory left Aston Villa still searching for their first Premier League win of the season.
Liam Delap, who joined Forest from Chelsea for £50 million, scored his first goal since January to give Forest the lead. Alysson equalized for Villa, marking their first Premier League goal of the season.
Despite Villa's early chances, including a deflected strike from Victor Lindelof that hit the post, they struggled to maintain control of the match. Villa's head coach, Unai Emery, substituted record signing Nicolas Jackson at halftime, a decision that reflected the team's ongoing challenges following a summer rebuild.
Oliver Glasner celebrated his first win as head coach of Nottingham Forest, while Emery called for patience amidst the team's struggles.
