Aston Villa bounced back from a slump with a 3-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest, leaving manager Unai Emery visibly delighted after the match. Goals from Ollie Watkins and captain John McGinn helped the team recover from their defeat to Arsenal and extend their home winning streak to 11 games.  

Unai Emery was very satisfied with the team's performance that day and highly praised the Aston Villa fans' support for the victory. He said, "Especially at Villa Park, I felt the passion and support of the fans, and I was very happy. Their support helped us a lot."  

“They are proud of what we have achieved, and also proud of the spirit we have shown in the face of competition. Our fans continue to convey our passion and strive to stay closely connected with us. Their feedback is invaluable, and we hope to continue to create this positive atmosphere.”  

"This is the key to our success. The team's unity allowed us to secure three points today, which is truly exhilarating. After losing to Arsenal in London, we quickly adjusted our form, and our current position in the standings is also satisfactory."  

Facing a tenacious Nottingham Forest side, the home team struggled to break through their defense. It wasn't until first-half stoppage time that Ollie Watkins broke the deadlock with a powerful shot. As the game progressed, Unai Emery expressed satisfaction with his team's success in dismantling the away team's defense.  

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery said his players performed brilliantly in the final stages of the game, securing the victory. This win moves the team to second place in the Premier League table ahead of the remainder of the weekend. Emery added: "Of course, Nottingham Forest are bottom of the table today, but they are working hard to bounce back under their new manager."  

“We must fully respect our opponents and develop a detailed game strategy based on the mindset we have established. In the game, we must rely on our existing team atmosphere and energy to play the football we should play. Their defense is very solid and the pace of the game is very intense, so we need to be patient.”  

"Of course, the game became easier after we scored the first goal. But we relaxed for a while when we scored the second goal in the second half. The opponent then pulled one back, and we had to stay calm, continue to respect them, and strictly execute the game plan. After the third goal, we clearly gained more control of the game."
