So, what has Nuno about Nottingham Forest after the match against Aston Villa? Let’s take a look.

Nuno comments on Nottingham Forest defeat to Aston Villa

Well, Nottingham Forest went down 4-2 to Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Villa were 3-0 ahead after 39 minutes. Ollie Watkins scored after four minutes and Douglas Luiz found the back of the net twice in the space of 10 minutes.

Forest pulled one back through Moussa Niakhate in first-half injury time, and then Morgan Gibbs-White, a player Villa manager Unai Emery identified as a major threat before the games, scored in the 48th minute to make it 3-2.

And, according to Forest manager Nuno, it was then that he thought that his side could win.

However, Villa scored their fourth and final goal in the 61st minute when Leon Bailey found the target.

Nuno told BBC Sport: “The moment we scored for 3-2, there was a feeling we could go for it. But we conceded, and it was game over.”

Nottingham Forest in relegation danger

Nottingham Forest are now 16th in the Premier League table with 24 points from 26 matches.

Nuno’s side are four points above Luton Town, who are third from bottom and have played 25 games.

Forest have won one and lost four of their last four Premier League matches. Although there have been signs of improvement under Nuno, results need to be better.
