Super Eagles defender Ola Aina has earned a spot in the Premier League Team of the Week following his standout display in Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday.
Aina played a crucial role in the historic win at the Gtech Community Stadium, becoming the first team to defeat Brentford at home this season.
The Nigerian international opened the scoring for Forest, setting the tone for a memorable performance.
Beyond his goal, Aina was a defensive powerhouse, contributing six clearances, three interceptions, and two tackles while winning four ground duels.
His efforts were instrumental in securing a clean sheet, underlining his influence on both ends of the pitch.
The goal marked Aina’s second of the season, adding to his growing reputation as a key player for Nottingham Forest.
The 27-year-old has featured in 17 Premier League games this campaign, further solidifying his importance under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Aina’s stellar form has not gone unnoticed. In November, he was named Nottingham Forest’s Player of the Month, and his inclusion in the Team of the Week highlights his consistent contributions to the team’s success.
