Former Tottenham Hotspur star Andy Reid believes Super Eagles defender Ola Aina was unlucky not to have registered a goal in Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 loss to Midtjylland on Thursday’s Europa League.
The Nigerian international, who had a decent performance against Midtjylland, could have scored twice; his first effort was saved by the goalkeeper before Morgan Gibbs-White blocked his goal-bound shot in the second effort.
Speaking with TNT Sport, Reid stated that Aina deserved to have scored a goal against Midtjylland.

“You don’t want to be relying on luck either, but it does play into it a bit. There’s probably not that little bit of luck coming at the minute.
“You saw the chance that got cut back, Ola Aina takes a shot and it gets blocked by Morgan Gibbs-White. So a little bit of luck can be needed, and it can be helpful.
“You come off and you’re disappointed, but there’s still a lot of positivity.”
