Thank you for joining me for this cracking Premier League game where Aston Villa have bounced back from their loss to Arsenal. Nottingham Forest did well for the majority of the first half to keep the hosts at bay but Ollie Watkins broke the deadlock and captain John McGinn sealed the win. To recap all of the action take a read of the report below. Have a good rest of your weekend.

Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche told Sky Sports:

The whole game plan was to frustrate them… it’s tough as a manager because the players did everything we asked in the first half. Players then make [strange] decisions.

The reaction to that was excellent, we then had to go on the front foot and take risks and then they score a goal. It’s a tough one because the players put a lot into today. The mentality is there.

[On Victor] I think he will be alright. He has come out too far he knows that. Too many basic errors.
