During Monday's Premier League match, Nottingham Forest played a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at home.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the hosts scored the first goal of the match. 15 minutes after a high pass from Morgan Gibbs-White into the penalty area, Emmanuel Dennis scored with a header.

However, Aston Villa quickly equalized in style just 7 minutes later. Ashley Young unleashed a "torpedo" from outside the penalty area into the bottom left corner of the goal.

In the second half, both teams had several dangerous chances to score, but the result remained level.

After this match, Nottingham Forest is in 19th place in the league table, with two points separating them from the safety zone. Meanwhile, Aston Villa is currently in 16th place, also with two points between them and the relegation zone.
