"Murillo's own goal sent Unai Emery's visitors ahead, after the Brazilian inadvertently turned home Morgan Rogers' wicked left-sided cross 23 minutes in."
"Neco Williams responded two seven minutes before half-time when fizzing into the bottom-left corner from 18 yards out."
"Williams has now been directly involved in three goals in his last two Premier League games (one goal, two assists), more than in his previous 32 outings combined."
"Pereira will still feel his side deserved, at least, a point after accumulating 1.2 expected goals (xG) to Villa's 0.98 in a hard-fought encounter."
Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Aston Villa, moving up to 16th in the Premier League and three points clear of the relegation zone. An own goal by Murillo gave Villa an early lead, but Neco Williams equalized before halftime. Despite several chances, neither team could secure a win. Forest remains winless in eight home league games, but Pereira's side showed resilience, achieving a higher expected goals (xG) of 1.2 compared to Villa's 0.98.
