- Aston Villa Vs. Nottingham Forest – Sat, Feb 24th 2024, 15:00
Aston Villa returned to winning ways at Villa Park as they triumphed 4-2 over Nottingham Forest in a six-goal thriller.
Ollie Watkins handed the hosts a dream start with his 19th goal of the season after just four minutes, recording his 24th goal involvement in the Premier League this term.
Douglas Luiz’s brace, taking his tally for the season to 10, then put Villa firmly in command before goals from Moussa Niakhate and Morgan Gibbs-White either side of half-time ensured there was just one goal in it.
But Leon Bailey’s finish just after the hour mark made sure of the points as Villa triumphed following successive league defeats on home soil.
The Villans have now lost just two of their previous 18 meetings with Forest stretching back to 1995, and are unbeaten in eight encounters in B6.
