Nottingham Forest claimed their first Premier League victory of the campaign with a 2-1 triumph against Aston Villa at Villa Park.
The result marked the visitors’ first success at that venue in 32 years.
Liam Delap opened the scoring for Forest before Alysson drew Villa level.
Substitute Igor Jesus completed the turnaround late on to secure all three points for the away side.
Head coach Oliver Glasner emphasised his satisfaction with the character shown by his squad.
The Austrian acknowledged that Forest had been forced into defensive alterations following injuries to Nikola Milenkovic and Jair Cunha sustained during Friday’s training session.
Ola Aina was deployed in the right-sided centre-back position, while Ousmane Diomande was handed his first Premier League start as a consequence.
Glasner expressed contentment not merely with the outcome but also with how his players responded when Villa equalised.
The manager noted that his side refused to accept a share of the spoils and remained committed to seeking a winner throughout the contest.
Forest had experienced limited success on previous visits to that part of the West Midlands.
However, Glasner has now established an impressive record against Villa manager Unai Emery, having never suffered defeat to the Spanish coach’s side in the top flight.
The Austrian revealed that Emery had reminded him of their respective achievements, with the Villa boss holding a significant advantage in European trophy collections.
Glasner recounted that Emery’s remarks prompted him to maintain perspective despite the positive result.
Credit was directed towards the players for their application and effort throughout the match.
