It was a near-perfect afternoon for a Nottingham Forest side who appeared up against it before kick-off, having made eight changes with injuries beginning to take their toll on a squad competing on two fronts. Head coach Vitor Pereira understandably had one eye on the second leg of the Europa League - Forest's first European semi-final for more than 40 years - with a 1-0 lead to defend at Villa Park. Luca Netz made his first league start, while 19-year-old academy product Zach Abbott was drafted in alongside fringe players including James McAtee, Jair Cunha and Dilane Bakwa.
