7:23PM Aston Villa extend their winning run to seven after a richly entertaining game at Villa Park. They were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to Morgan Rogers and Donyell Malen but had to withstand a ferocious Forest onslaught either side of Jota Silva’s goal. There were loads of close shaves at both ends, including a piledriver from Murillo that hit the bar in injury-time. All in all, it was great fun.

7:21PM Fine save by Sels! Rashford runs through on goal, onto McGinn’s pass, and tries to flick the ball over Sels. He makes a half stop and then springs to his feet to stop the ball bouncing into the empty net. Brilliant goalkeeping.

7:20PM Murillo hits the bar! It was a sensational effort, clubbed towards goal from 25 yards with his left foot. It whistled just over the hand of Martinez – who may have had it covered had it been on target – and clattered the top of the bar.

7:19PM Forest have four added minutes in which to find an equaliser.

7:18PM Rashford’s corner is punched away awkwardly by Sels, who had to come round a Forest defender and was standing behind the line when he made the save.

7:16PM Rogers’ shot on the turn hits Boly and spins over the bar. This could easily be 3-3.

7:14PM Martinez is booked for taking too long over the resulting free-kick.

7:14PM Martinez makes a superb reaction save to deny Jota, though it turned out Jota was well offside.

7:12PM Rashford hammers a superb crossfield pass to Rogers, who runs his man to win a corner. Rogers has been very impressive again, both from the right and in a central position.

7:10PM So close from Williams! Gibbs-White finds space and flicks a superb return pass to Williams, playing at right-back now. He gets away from Maatsen and spanks a low shot from the angle that whistles just wide of the far post.
