Aston Villa's Matty Cash

Emi Martinez

What a difference a week makes. Terrible error for the second goal. A rarity but costly in its timing on a bad day all round for Villa.

Human 5

Matty Cash

Had his hands full with Toffolo and Elanga in the early stages. Missed a great chance to get back in the game. Not his greatest day.

Struggle 5

Ezri Konsa

Did his own job pretty well but there were a couple of uncertain moments early in the second half. Much like Villa just seemed a bit off his game.

Steady 6

Pau Torres

Caught upfield on several occasions in the opening half and didn’t look too happy against Forest’s pacy frontline.
