Ola Aina scored a spectacular goal for Nottingham Forest as they beat West Ham at home 3-0 to continue in their Premier League winning streak.
The win pushed Forest to the third position the best they have even gone since 1998 when they made it to the second spot. But coach Nuno Espírito Santo said it doesn’t count for nothing if they don’t finish top four at the end of the season.
Forest opened scoring in the 27th minute through Chris Wood who scored his 8th goal of the season. Forest took the advantage of West Ham reduced to ten men after Edson Álvarez hacked down Anthony Elanga just before the break. Callum Hudson-Odoi doubled the lead and Aina rounded up with a left-footed half-volley into the top corner from the edge of the area.
“This is what is important, you know better than me, it doesn’t mean anything now,” Espirito Santo said
“We just have to keep going, keep going, keep going. It’s a very long season ahead, every player is going to be needed.
“It is a positive moment. We worked very hard this week; this is what we are focused on. We have to work and work hard and improve much more.”
