Nottingham Forest Aina named in Premier League team of the week
Posted : 08 November 2023
Nottingham Forest's versatile defender, Ola Aina, has been honored for his exceptional performance during their 2-0 victory against Aston Villa. He was named in the Premier League's Team of the Week for gameweek 11, a selection made by Premier League's record goalscorer, Alan Shearer.
Aina's standout moment came during the match against Aston Villa, where he delivered his best performance in a Nottingham Forest jersey. Notably, he scored a brilliant goal, putting his team in the lead within the first five minutes of the game, ending a 378-day goal drought. Aina's goal was a remarkable sidefoot finish from a distance of approximately 25 yards.
Alan Shearer's Team of the Week features a 4-3-3 formation, with Aina forming a solid defensive partnership alongside Moussa Niakhate from Nottingham Forest. The backline is further fortified by the inclusion of Harry Maguire from Manchester United and Tyrick Mitchell from Crystal Palace.
In the midfield, the team boasts star players such as Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, Joelinton representing Newcastle United, and Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United.
The attack is equally impressive, with Chelsea's hat-trick hero, Nicolas Jackson, flanked by Jeremy Doku from Manchester City and Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.
Shearer acknowledged Aina's remarkable technique in scoring against Emiliano Martinez and praised his solid defensive performance, which contributed to a clean sheet. Aina's goal marked his third career goal since his debut in the Premier League seven years ago, with two of those goals coming during his time with Fulham in the 2020-2021 season.
