Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates

Villa are starting to get frustrated with the lack of chances that they are creating. They have dominated possession but are not creating many clear opportunities. Luiz strikes a shot from distance that is blocked with ease by Sangare.

This is just the second time in 120 Premier League appearances for Villa that Martinez has conceded two or more goals from outside the box, and the first since November 2020 v Southampton (three).

CHANCE! Watkins holds up the ball well and offloads it to McGinn. He has the chance to play it down the left to Digne but chips a cross into the path of Watkins, who rushes into space. He is free and heads his shot well wide.

McGinn does well to keep an attack down the left alive after a loose pass from Digne, winning a corner. Luiz's inswinging cross is flicked on by Watkins, but nobody is there to attack it. Torres keeps the ball on the pitch. However, Forest come away with it.

Bailey gets on the ball for the first time and darts down the right side of the box. He tries to cut inside but is crowded out by the Forest defence and gives away possession.

Awoniyi is surrounded by defenders in the box but finds a way to poke a pass across to Dominguez. He gets a shot away, but it is tame and Martinez makes a simple save.

Assist Harry Stefano Toffolo

SAVE! Fast start from Villa. Digne rushes inside from the left and sends a throughball down the left channel to Watkins. He takes a shot from a narrow angle that is saved by Vlachodimos.

Villa get the ball rolling again.

Emery has seen enough and has decided to make a change before the restart. Zaniolo wasted a couple of chances in the first half and is replaced by Bailey on the left.
