NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) – Nottingham Forest’s Nikola Milenkovic and Anthony Elanga struck late goals to earn their side a dramatic 2-1 victory over Aston Villa which put them fourth in the Premier League on Saturday.
Milenkovic scored for the second week running as he struck in the 87th minute to cancel out Jhon Duran’s header for Villa.
Roared on by the City Ground crowd, Forest then claimed all three points in the third minute of stoppage time as substitute Elanga slotted a shot past goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
Forest moved a point above champions Manchester City, who host Manchester Untied on Sunday, into fourth spot with 28 points from 16 games while Villa, who were on course to go fourth themselves, stay sixth with 25.
