Nottingham Forest have sent a warning to the Premier League after yet another win, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka well aware of the quality we possess judging by his reaction in the tunnel.
The performance at the City Ground was one of the most complete yet, with dominance in possession and shots on goal, which was influenced by Edson Alvarez’s silly red card.
However, that wasn’t the only potential red card, as Crysencio Summerville could have received his marching orders for a kickout at Ryan Yates, but it didn’t appear as if VAR took much interest.
Of course, supporters looking from the outside may notice the fact Chris Wood grabbed another goal for Forest, but fans felt as if Nicolas Dominguez deserved the Man of the Match award for his display.
West Ham star Aaron Wan-Bissaka may disagree with that claim, as his reaction told a different story in the tunnel after facing Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Callum Hudson-Odoi’s game in numbers
Aaron Wan-Bissaka started the game at right-back with Callum Hudson-Odoi up against him.
The Nottingham Forest man put in yet another dominant display, grabbing a goal cutting in from the left in the second half. As well as this, he made four key passes and had a passing accuracy percentage of 96.
He was always positive in possession, trying to drive his side forward and link up with the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White, as well as tracking back to make one interception and a tackle for his side.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka failed to make a tackle in the match, won two of his four duels and lost possession 10 times in what was a tough afternoon for the defender.
