Igor Jesus snatches 88th‑minute win to give Forest first Villa Park victory in 32 years

Nottingham Forest edged Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park, with Igor Jesus finding the net in the 88th minute to secure the win.

Jesus' late strike came after a defensive error, allowing the Forest forward to slot home the decisive goal and seal a hard‑fought victory.

The result was historic for Forest, as it was their first win at Villa Park in 32 years, breaking a long period of defeat on the ground.

It also gave newly appointed manager Oliver Glasner his first victory since taking charge in the summer, signalling a positive start to his tenure.

With the win, Forest move up the table and will look to build on the momentum ahead of their next fixtures, while Villa will seek to halt a poor start to the season.
