Nottingham Forest ended their Premier League winless streak with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park in the 88th minute. The win marked Forest's first victory at Villa Park since 1994 and was also the first win for manager Oliver Glasner, who took charge of the club earlier this season. The decisive goal came from Igor Jesus, who scored after a quick exchange of passes with Morgan Gibbs-White. Liam Delap opened the scoring for Forest just 45 seconds into the second half, finding the bottom corner with a 20-yard shot. Aston Villa responded with a goal from Alysson, who headed in a cross from John McGinn, ending a long goal drought for the team. Aston Villa remained winless in their first four Premier League games, sitting near the bottom of the table. Manager Unai Emery had hoped a recent Champions League victory against Club Brugge would boost his team's performance, but Villa has struggled since a turbulent summer that saw several key players sold. Emery made a change at halftime, substituting Nicolas Jackson, the club's expensive summer signing, after he failed to make an impact. Delap’s goal came after he outmuscled Emiliano Buendia and fired a low shot into the net. Forest had multiple chances to extend their lead, including a header from Dan Ndoye that went just over the bar and a second goal from Delap that was disallowed by VAR after a cross from Gibbs-White. Villa introduced new signings Ibrahim Mbaye and Johan Manzambi, which shifted the momentum of the match. Mbaye’s curled shot forced Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels into a save, and Villa eventually equalized with Alysson’s goal. Villa had earlier missed several scoring opportunities, including a shot from Victor Lindelof that hit the post and another that was saved by Sels, with replays suggesting the ball may have crossed the line. Forest also had chances in the first half, with James McAtee’s shot deflected wide and Neco Williams wasting an opportunity. The match eventually went to the final minutes, with Forest sealing the win through a quick move involving Munoz and Gibbs-White, ending with Jesus scoring the winning goal. Glasner, who has now gone unbeaten against Emery in eight matches, celebrated the victory, marking a significant turning point for Forest in their Premier League campaign.
