“The best performance i’ve seen this season” – Ian Wright in awe of Super Eagles star exceptional display
Many pundits and fans have endorsed Ola Aina after his brilliant performance for Nottingham Forest that saw them defeat Liverpool 1-0 at the Anfield last weekend, which was applauded by former Arsenal star Ian Wright.
The Nigerian defender played a key role in Forest’s historic win, helping the team secure their first victory at Anfield in 55 years.
Aina’s Key Role in Forest’s Defence
Aina’s job was to shade Liverpool’s unpredictable wingers, which he effectively did. He effectively neutralised the services rendered by Luis Díaz, who has netted three Premier League goals in the current campaign, before he was substituted in the half-hour mark.
After Díaz’s departure, Aina ensured that he restrained Cody Gakpo in such a way that the Dutchman could not dribble past him.
In a previous report from Sportsbuddy, Ola Aina gave his maximum support to Mikel Obi’s claim about representing the Super Eagles.

Ian Wright’s High Praise
Ian Wright was greatly impressed with Aina’s performance, labelling it as one of the richest individual defensive performances that he saw all season.
Commenting on his Wrighty’s House podcast as per Nottingham Forest News, Wright stated, “Ola Aina, the right-back, his performance at Anfield was one of the best performances I’ve seen in the Premier League this season.”
Aina’s Future at Nottingham Forest
Having played every minute of the season so far, the 27-year-old right-back has become one of Forest’s most reliable players.
Being in his final year of the contract with this team, Nottingham Forest are definitely set to offer him an extended deal due to his excellent knack on the pitch.
