Nottingham Forest 1-0 Aston Villa - the fans' verdict
Villa Park will be a tough place to see this through. The right call was made on Elliot Anderson's brilliant tackle and our penalty was the most obvious one you'll see, so nothing to grumble about in terms of VAR or the officials. Ian: This result gives Forest something to believe in.
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your thoughts after Thursday's Europa League semi-final first leg between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa at the City Ground. Here are some of your comments: Forest fans Ben: First blood, Forest! A strong performance without being dominant, but what a penalty!
You won't see a better one. We played well with the ball and did enough to deserve a lead going into the second leg, but this tie is nowhere near over. Villa Park will be a tough place to see this through.
But if Forest play with the same commitment, they will give themselves every chance of doing so! Steven: We just about deserved the win. It was a very cagey game, but we played at a good tempo.
I'm looking forward to next week. Stefan Ortega needs to be given a new contract ASAP. Kris: Very composed, very assured and very professional.
