Young stunner earns Aston Villa draw to deny struggling Nottingham Forest
Armed with a new contract, Steve Cooper and Nottingham Forest needed a reaction and though they failed to get the three points they craved they halted their five-match losing run to earn a draw at home to Aston Villa, a result that also lifts them from the bottom of the table. For Steven Gerrard, it was another frustrating game as his team laboured in the final third but a glass half-full supporter might point to this draw extending Villa’s unbeaten run to four matches. Ashley Young’s sensational strike cancelled out Emmanuel Dennis’s opener on an autumnal evening by the River Trent.
