All the current top Aston Villa stories including, which player ran the show against Nottingham Forest, the 17-year-old future star and pundits praise for one star.
Leon Bailey dominated Nottingham Forest
Bailey is in the form of his life at Villa. Under the guidance of Unai Emery, he is thriving at the club and this was on full display at Villa Park.
The winger was on form from the off and picked up an assist less than five minutes into the game. Bailey then netted Villa’s fourth to confirm the victory just when Forest were looking to get back into the game.
As a result, Aston Villa News rated the winger as a 9/10 for his performance. However, he was not the only player to reach this score.

Aston Villa’s future star
Villa have always had a sensational academy. Plenty of players have come through the ranks over recent years to play a big part in the club.
Jack Grealish is the most prominent player with the attacker being a star at Villa Park for many years until his big move to Man City. Jacob Ramsey is also another graduate who now plays a big role in the first team.
Now, Villa believes that they have another gem in Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba. The 17-year-old has been a key man in the Premier League 2.

Aston Villa player was ‘absolutely brilliant’

The Nottingham Forest game showed off the abilities of the squad with plenty shining. However, Sky Sports pundit Sue Smith highlighted Ollie Watkins’ first-half performance.
The pundit insisted the striker had been ‘brilliant’, unsurprisingly after he netted his third goal in two games.
