Forest's Brennan Johnson, cutting in on to his left foot from the right wing, tries to produce some magic but it is top defending from Ezri Konsa as he intercepts the cross while under pressure inside his own penalty area.
Forest have clearly been told to watch out for Emiliano Buendia. He's fouled again, this time by Serge Aurier on his full Forest debut. That gives Philippe Coutinho an inviting free-kick 30 yards out, but the Brazilian can't get the ball over a jumping wall.
J Staggs: Forest need to be attacking those wide channels against this Villa side who play very narrow.
