Following the match, fans who have already named the defender as the most underrated in the league took to social media to express their admiration for Aina's goal and urged the club to secure his future with a new contract.
Comments flooded in, including sentiments like, “Love to see him score, and now sign a new contract, please” and “What an absolute cracker by Aina. Tireless all match and deserving a goal.”
The victory not only boosts Forest’s morale but also highlights Aina's growing influence within the team since joining from Fulham.
His ability to contribute offensively while maintaining defensive responsibilities has made him a fan favourite at the City Ground.
Looking ahead, Nottingham Forest will aim to build on this momentum as they prepare to face Newcastle United in their next fixture.
With Aina's recent form and the team's overall performance, fans are optimistic about their chances of continuing this winning streak.
