Ola Aina got very good rating despite Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 home loss to Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
The defeat was a blow to Forest’s relegation fight as they are just one point above the relegation spot.
A goal in each half from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland saw City cut Arsenal’s lead to just one point with a game in hand.
Despite the loss, Aina was one of the few Forest players who impressed.
Following his impressive display, Daily Mail rated Aina 7.5.

“Not many players beat Kyle Walker for pace but Aina did so early in the second half and it symbolised an excellent display from the former Chelsea man, who benefited hugely from Nuno’s decision to change the system,” the media outfit wrote.
Aina has featured in 20 Premier League games for Forest this season and has scored one goal.
Up next for Aina and his teammates is a trip to already relegated Sheffield United.

Won’t be surprised if he ends up playing for a top team next season.
At one point, he literally race from his box tobthe opponent box.
Like AFCON, his delivery from the left field was a masterpiece.
Point of note for me is that he benefited from Nuno’s CHANGING THE SYSTEM.
Players thrive under good coaches.
I also saw that move where he turned on the afterburner and blew past several Man City players like a hot knife thru butter, before delivering a lovely cross into the box.
Very unusual to see a wingback who is so good on both wings. When in form, he’s a joy to watch.
