Unai Emery: Head coach Unai Emery has said Aston Villa were the better team for long periods but their mentality changed in the final 20 minutes of the affair as Villa fell 2-1 to Nottingham Forest.

Nikola Milenkovic and Anthony Elanga's late strike handed Villa their first defeat in four outings. Reflecting on the outcome of the match, Emery called for his players to draw lessons from loss and try to be more consistent in the Premier League table

We are in the process, and we have to understand it. Today was a match, we were on 25 points with Nottingham Forest. They are our rival now," Emery said in a post-match presser.
