Nottingham Forest Defeats Aston Villa 2-1

Nottingham Forest achieved a stunning 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, climbing to fourth place in the Premier League. Jhon Duran had initially given Villa the lead with a header in the 67th minute, but Forest equalized in the 87th minute when Nikola Milenkovic capitalized on a mistake from goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. In stoppage time, Anthony Elanga secured the win with a composed finish, marking Forest's third victory in four matches. The win puts Forest ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, who are set to play on Sunday. Aston Villa, who were aiming for fourth place themselves, remain in sixth position after the loss. The match was characterized by a lackluster first half, with excitement only igniting in the latter stages.
