“We are Working Hard Every Week. It is Showing on the Pitch” – Ola Aina on Forest’s Top Four Push
Ola Aina is confident that Nottingham Forest can continue their strong form in the Premier League after securing a thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton at the City Ground on Sunday.
The victory helped Forest maintain their push for a top-four finish, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side holding onto third place in the league standings.
Aina played a key role in the win, registering his first assist of the season by setting up Chris Wood for Forest’s third goal.
“We’re buzzing after the win. We’re just happy to get the three points today,” Aina told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“We’ve been working hard every week, and it’s showing on the pitch. To be up there with some of the biggest teams is a real credit to us. We’ll keep pushing and take it week by week.”
Aina also praised his teammate Wood for his consistent goal-scoring form, adding, “Everyone is doing their part to reach our goals. I’m happy to get an assist for Chris. He’s been on fire, and he just keeps scoring.”
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
