Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina, was impressed with the team’s performance after their impressive 3-2 victory over Southampton on Sunday.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side claimed a ninth win in their past 11 matches in all competitions, as they moved level on points with second-placed Arsenal, who are ahead on goal difference.
Elliot Anderson and Callum Hudson-Odoi put Forest two goals up, before Ola Aina provided the assist for New Zealand striker Chris Wood to score his 14th league goal of the season.
“We are buzzing. Just happy to get the win today.
We are working hard every week. It is showing on the pitch and to be up there with some of the big boys is a credit to us. We will keep going and take every week as it comes”, Aina said.
Aina’s performance was also very impressive considering that he made a goal-line clearance, his second in two games, to prevent the Saints from grabbing a late equalizer in the game.
“Everyone is doing their part to reach our goals. Happy to get an assist for Chris Wood – he keeps scoring that guy.
It is taking it step-by-step. Being humble and working hard for each other and making sure that we are doing the right things to win football matches”, he added.
