Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw against league leaders Liverpool at the City Ground on Tuesday night has sparked widespread praise for Nigerian defender Ola Aina.
Aina delivered a stellar performance against a Liverpool side seeking revenge for their only defeat of the season, which came at the hands of Forest earlier in the campaign.

Forest once again showcased their defensive resilience and attacking flair, denying Liverpool their 15th victory of the season. Aina played a crucial role in his team’s success, providing solid defensive cover and making a vital 88th-minute goal-line clearance to thwart Cody Gakpo’s attempt. He completed three clearances throughout the match.
While often considered one of the league’s most underrated players, Aina is finally gaining recognition. His impressive form has attracted interest from top Premier League clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Below are reactions to Ola Aina’s performance against Liverpool:
Aina has found the back of the net twice in 21 Premier League games for Forest this season.
