Ola Aina got a very good rating after getting on the score sheet for Nottingham Forest, in their 2-0 win at Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
Aina netted his second goal in the Premier League this season after giving them a first half lead.
Former Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga doubled the lead in the second half.
Following his superb performance for Forest, Sky Sports rated Aina eight out of 10.
Aina’s Nigerian teammate Taiwo Awoniyi, who came on in the 90th minute, did not get any rating.
Victory for Forest temporarily took them to third spot before they were usurped by Arsenal courtesy of their 5-1 win at Crystal Palace.
Despite his team’s impressive showing, Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo said his side have not achieved anything yet.
“We had to change [our approach] and the boys did well. It was about holding the result. Brentford caused us problems in the second half but we dealt with it, which shows the character and resilience in the team.
“We’re improving, becoming more mature in terms of control. Overall it was a good performance. Until the last minute it was about keeping the clean sheet. That save from Matz Sels [from Kristoffer Ajer] was huge for us.
“It’s not about the table. It’s about improving, realising that there is still a long way to go and that we’ve achieved nothing yet.”
