Neco Williams with a MASSIVE goal for Forest as they equalise against Aston Villa. Vitor Pereira is BUZZING…

Nottingham Forest earned a valuable point in their Premier League survival fight with a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at the City Ground on Sunday.
mai says Manchester United have a chance:
Aston Villa DROPPED two points after their draw against Nottingham Forest. HUGE opportunity for Manchester United to go three points CLEAR tomorrow.
gman praised neco Williams:
Neck, just Neco, awesome as usual. He’s like the jewel in the Nile (Trent) that nobody sees!

Strange shape for 20mins of the game with Jesus still on the pitch and Wood. Pereira needs to learn you don’t take MGW off ever. Draw suited both teams. But the tension was palpable for us. Got to beat Burnley.
Elsewhere, Manchester City reignited the title race with a dominant 3–0 victory over Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge. Rayan Cherki provided two assists for Nico O’Reilly and Marc Guehi, before Jérémy Doku sealed the win after a costly error from Moisés Caicedo.
Meanwhile, Roberto De Zerbi’s start at Tottenham Hotspur got off to a poor note, with a 1–0 defeat to Sunderland AFC extending Spurs’ winless run to 105 days and deepening their relegation concerns.
