Emi Martinez
What a difference a week makes. Terrible error for the second goal. A rarity but costly in its timing on a bad day all round for Villa.
Human 5
Matty Cash
Had his hands full with Toffolo and Elanga in the early stages. Missed a great chance to get back in the game. Not his greatest day.
Struggle 5
Ezri Konsa
Did his own job pretty well but there were a couple of uncertain moments early in the second half. Much like Villa just seemed a bit off his game.
Steady 6
Pau Torres
Caught upfield on several occasions in the opening half and didn’t look too happy against Forest’s pacy frontline.
Nervy 5
