Villa Storm to Europa League Final with 4-0 Win Over Forest as Aina Misses Out

Aston Villa put Nottingham Forest to the sword with a 4-0 victory at Villa Park, overturning a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and booking their place in a major European final for the first time since 1982, according to Sky Sports. Super Eagles defender Ola Aina sat out the semi-final second leg through injury, leaving Forest without one of their key defensive figures when they needed a response. Ollie Watkins struck before the break and Emiliano Buendía’s early second-half penalty put Unai Emery’s side in control. John McGinn’s late brace sealed a comprehensive rout as Forest faded under the pressure. Villa will now head to Istanbul to face Bundesliga side Freiburg in the Europa League final, aiming to end a 44-year wait for European silverware.
