From hero to zero for Argentine

Emi Martinez made a superb reaction save to deny Nottingham Forest a goal this evening.

Then, he fumbles a Milenkovic header over the line for an equaliser for the hosts.

When Elanga then scored a winner, it made the Argentine's error look that more important this evening.

Forest set their eyes on Europe

As a club with a real history in European competition, nobody at the City Ground even dreamt of achieving qualification this season.

Now, it is a real possibility for Nottingham Forest.

They have a tough run of matches, with three away from home but will need more of the grit and determination they showed today.

JHON DURAN handed himself a belated birthday present to fire Villa in front.

But it was Nikola Milenkovic and Anthony Elanga who provided the icing on the cake with a deadly late double for Forest!

Unai Emery's men thought they had the three points all wrapped up when Duran bulleted a header from John McGinn's cross beyond Matz Sels, one day after celebrating his 21st birthday.

But it was Forest who were partying at full-time after stunning Villa with a classic comeback to move above Manchester City into fourth place.

Forest bag El of a player

All too often, Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates are talked about when it comes to Forest's impressive form this season.

In a game where chances were few and far between, Elliot Anderson put in a gritty display to see his team over the line.

It was his tenacity and vision that set up the winning goal for Anthony Elanga in the process.

Forest will feel they signed a real player when they persuaded the youngster to leave St James' Park.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side move to fourth in the table above Man City after that win this evening.

Falling a goal behind, the visitors thought they were in control, especially when Forest had an equaliser ruled out.

The hosts did not give up and Elanga proved to be the player who would take them onto victory.

90+6. This would be another crushing defeat for Villa.

Having led the game and then thrown it away, that is hard to take.

No doubt Emery will bemoan the penalty they were not awarded and claim Cash was fouled in Forest's winner.

90+4. Aston Villa will feel hard done by again.

Cash felt he was fouled in the build-up by Anderson but he strides to the byline and cuts it back to Elanga.

He drills it into the back of the net to turn this game on its head.

76. Aston Villa are focussing on game management now.

With just under fifteen minutes remaining, they are more than happy to pass the ball around, running that clock down.

They have their goal and potentially three points as it stands.

At last! It's taken an hour but this match has finally burst into life.

Emi Martinez pulled off one of the saves of the season to claw a point-blank Nicolas Dominguez off his own goalline - from behind him!

That was a huge turning point because three minutes later Jhon Duran flashed a header beyond Matz Sels to give Villa the lead.

The Colombian kid handed himself a belated birthday present - one day after he celebrated turning 21!
