In 90 minutes played, the Scottish native registered the assist for Anthony Elanga's winning goal, created four chances, made eight passes into the final third from his midfield position, and had six touches in the opposition's box. The assist was Anderson's fifth of the Premier League season, tied for fourth-most in the league. He will hope to put in another immense shift this Saturday against Brentford.

Anthony Elanga - Late heroics off benchElanga scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Aston Villa.

ImpactThough he played just 13 minutes of regular time, Elanga made the most of his appearance against Aston Villa on Saturday. His only shot of the match came in the 93rd minute, and was the winner for Nottingham Forest. The goal will hopefully lift a heavy weight off of the Swedish winger's shoulders, as it was his first of the Premier League season after ten starts and 16 appearances. Elanga will aim to build off this momentum as Forest host Brentford this Saturday.

Nikola Milenkovic - Scores dramatic equalizerMilenkovic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win against Aston Villa.

ImpactMilenkovic scored his second goal of the Premier League season in exciting fashion during Nottingham Forest's 2-1 win against Aston Villa. His headed shot leveled the match for the home side in the 87th minute, and would help propel Forest to a thrilling comeback. The Serbian defender also won all three of his duels and his only tackle of the day. He will hope to add another goal to his tally this Saturday against Brentford.

Matz Sels - Sees limited actionSels had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

ImpactSels had little work to do in Nottingham Forest's 2-1 victory over Aston Villa. The visitors were only able to muster two shots on target all match, and Sels was able to save one of them from inside his own box. He was also hardly at fault for Aston Villa's only goal, as it came off of a brilliant header from Jhon Duran. Sels has been reliable and quality for Forest this season, and will hope to continue his fine run of form this Saturday against Brentford.

Morgan Rogers - Slow day in attackRogers had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Nottingham Forest.

ImpactRogers has been a key cog in Aston Villa's attack this season, but failed to make an impact in their 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. In 90 minutes played, Rogers created just one chance, registered zero shots on target, and completed just two of his six dribble attempts. He was also dispossessed twice, and lost ten of his 16 ground duels. The 22 year old has been one of Villa's most consistent creative threats this year, so it is reasonable to suggest that this performance was a blip, rather than part of a larger overall trend. Rogers will hope to right the ship this Saturday against Manchester City.

John McGinn - Registers assistMcGinn assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (four accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.

ImpactMcGinn was one of Aston Villa's only sources of creativity in their defeat to Nottingham Forest. In 90 minutes played, the Villa captain tallied one assist, created a joint-match high four chances, had six touches in the opposition's box, and completed four of his five crosses. The assist was McGinn's second of the Premier League season, and Villa will depend on his attacking threat this Saturday against Manchester City.

Jhon Duran - Red-hot in front of goalJhon Duran scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.

ImpactDuran is a man on fire for Aston Villa. In 74 minutes played against Aston Villa, the Colombian striker scored one goal from three shots, had six touches in the opposition's box, and won one of his two aerial duels. However, it was a relatively one-dimensional performance. He did not create any chances, did not attempt a single dribble, and lost eight of his nine ground duels. However, Villa will likely only care about the fact that Duran has scored in three straight matches for the club, and they will rely on the 21 year old once again as they take on the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City, this Saturday.
