Nottingham Forest claimed a dramatic 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday, their first win at that ground in 32 years, courtesy of an 88th-minute strike from Igor Jesus.

The late goal handed Oliver Glasner his first win as Forest head coach since he was appointed in the summer, bringing welcome relief to a side that had struggled to impose themselves in the opening weeks of the Premier League season.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, are enduring a difficult beginning to the campaign. The result leaves Unai Emery's side with growing concerns as their poor early form continues to offer opponents an opportunity.

Forest's winner came deep into the closing stages when Igor Jesus latched onto a chance and fired past the Villa goalkeeper to send the travelling support into celebration. The 88th-minute goal capped a determined performance from Glasner's men, who refused to settle for a draw.

The victory marks a significant milestone for Nottingham Forest — 32 years is a long time to wait for a win at any ground, and to claim it in such dramatic fashion will do enormous good for the mood inside the club as the new season continues to take shape.
