    Aston Villa haven't created enough. It's the first time this season where they have run out of ideas.

    All top teams lose games against so-called lower teams. It's what makes football such a great game. For Villa to be fancied for a top four place, shows a great improvement. They are still an evolving team, and great to watch.

    Lots and lots of possession for Aston Villa but Nottingham Forest look so comfortable. Villa just seem to be lacking in ideas today.

    Jon: Been some dozy performances by Villa players today. Tended to come under previous managers after they started to believe their own hype. Hope it's not a reoccurrence of that mentality.

    Youri Tielemans is on now for Aston Villa, with Matty Cash making way.

    More final third frustration for Aston Villa as Leon Bailey leans back too much for a first-time shot on the edge of the box and the ball flies well over the bar.

    Youri Tielemans is getting ready to come on as Unai Emery tries to work out how to get his Aston Villa side firing. So far, it just hasn't happened for them.

    If Ollie Watkins gets into those strong positions, he has to score. He just missed a golden opportunity.

    He completely missed his header.

    Big chance for Ollie Watkins!

    He's been pretty quiet in this game but he makes a good run to meet John McGinn's ball into the box and he rises to head wide from six yards.

    The life of a Villa fan... dreaming of top 4 and looking at a run of winnable games on paper, then this. Oh, the joys! UTV!

    As an Ice Hockey and Football fan, what a wonderful moment for Forest to score - in tribute to Adam Johnson - in the 47th minute. Special moment! Mark, Wales.

    Two assists for Harry Toffolo in this game. Signed from Huddersfield last year, he's becoming an important player for Nottingham Forest now.

    While that check was going on there was a moment of applause around the City Ground to remember Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson, who died after his neck was tragically cut by a skate blade during a match.

    It's the goalkeeper's [Emiliano Martínez] mistake and he has got to do a lot better.

    I think it's a good strike from Orel Mangala. Martinez should have gone with his other hand.

    Orel Mangala

    But Nottingham Forest then go and add a second goal!

    Emi Martinez will be very disappointed though as he can only push away Orel Mangala's powerful shot but the ball then bounces down and over the line.

    Positive start by Aston Villa as Ollie Watkins is onto a forward pass and he drives a low effort towards the near post, but Odysseas Vlachodimos saves.
