Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest
Europa League
City Ground dannede torsdag aften ramme om den første af to Europa League-semifinaler mellem Nottingham Forest og Aston Villa.
Her bød den indledende fase af opgøret på småchancer, men efter en halv times tid fik Igor Jesus en kæmpe mulighed for at bringe hjemmeholdet i front.
Emiliano Martinez diskede dog op med en fantomredning inde på stregen og holdt Villa-mandskabet inde i kampen.
Efter 70 minutters spil gik den dog ikke længere for gæsterne.

En bold på baglinjen blev vippet op på hånden af Lucas Digne, hvorfor dommeren efter et længere VAR-tjek pegede på pletten og dømte straffe til Forest.
Det tog Chris Wood sig stensikkert af og bragede hjemmeholdet på finalekurs.
Det endte 1-0 til Nottingham Forest, som går ind til returopgøret i næste uge med de bedste kort på hånden.
