Nottingham Forest beat Brentford 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, ensuring that the club will be in the top four at Christmas.

After Forest beat Villa, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side had the opportunity to make it three consecutive Premier League wins, a run started by Forest’s victory against Manchester United.

Brentford looked to be a match for Forest, but the visitors took the lead after 38 minutes with a pinpoint-accurate strike by Ola Aina.

Anthony Elanga added a second after the break as Forest beat Brentford to consolidate their top-four position over the festive period.

Such was the importance and impressiveness of Aina’s performance, Forest fans took to social media to voice their praise for their right back.

Nottingham Forest fans praise Ola Aina after Brentford goal

Aina was playing in a slightly more advanced wing-back role against Brentford, a decision by the Forest coaching staff that clearly paid off given his goal.

Reacting on social media, one Forest fan said: “Ola Aina what a player,” whilst another added: “Ola Aina has done so well to finish like that.”

Another fan said: “Ola Aina is the best RB in the Prem,” whilst another said: “Give Ola Aina a 10-year contract for all I care.”

More Forest fans piled in the love for Aina, with one saying: “Ola Aina is in the form of his life,” whilst one more added: “Ola Aina is genuinely the current best RB in the Premier League and not one single person can convince me otherwise.”

Ola Aina’s stats vs Brentford show backs up Forest fans claim

Alongside his goal, Aina completed 67% of his dribbles vs Brentford, which helped him have three touches in the Brentford box from wing-bac.

Arguably though, Aina was more impressive defensively as the hosts looked to fight back into the game in the second half.

Aina made six clearances and three interceptions and whilst he was dribbled past twice, his four successful defensive recoveries more than made up for it.

Forest fans will of course be biased towards Aina when describing him as the best right back in the Premier League but if he can produce more performances like this in the Forest squad, the rest of the division will struggle to deny him the accolade.
