The story in brief
- Nottingham Forest won 2-1 at Villa Park, their first victory there since 1994 and their first of the season.
- Alysson's 74th-minute header ended Aston Villa's Premier League goal drought, before Igor Jesus struck on 88.
- Oliver Glasner is now unbeaten in eight meetings with Unai Emery, the longest winless run of the Villa manager's career against any counterpart.
Forest ended a 32-year wait at Villa Park, and Glasner's hold over Emery grew stronger still.
