Minute-by-minute report: Will Forest end their five-match losing streak or can Villa ease the pressure on Steven Gerrard? Join Will Unwin.

The corner is well worked but Douglas Luiz’s shot is blocked and Forest get rid, forcing Konsa to curtail the counter with a foul on Gibbs-White. Douglas Luiz takes aim but whacks it straight into the wall and Forest clear. This is the first time I’ve watched them this season and thought they had a chance to stay up. It’s a team with plenty of skilful players, but the build-up play is so aimless that there’s rarely any space to create a chance.” Watkins does not help Ramsey by standing offside for a long time, forcing him to the delay the pass. “I had a classmate in high school for a year named Peter Oh, whose sensibility I am reminded of by the frequent MBM contributor. 65 mins: Forest have their first real spell of possession of the half, ending with a deep cross from Toffolo which is cleared. 73 mins: Mings welcomes Surridge to the game by going through the back of him. 83 mins: Watkins runs at Yates and the Forest captain sees his best option is to step across the striker to take him out, earning a booking for his troubles. 89 mins: Archer leads the charge, eventually getting a cross in from the left which is blocked by McKenna. Needless to say, he hits the wall. ‘I hate to disappoint Tom Sullivan, but the few times this Peter Oh,” says Peter Oh, “has been to Dallas were confined to its massive airport.

Chris Sutton takes on Hibernian and Scotland defender Ryan Porteous to pick his winners and losers for the weekend's Premier League games.

I think Forest's confidence is at a low ebb and they are far too open at the back to hold out for 90 minutes - I'm going with Coutinho to come good, and get the winner. There are a few disgruntled Villa fans who think their side haven't made the progress they would have liked under Gerrard. I always thought it was going to be tremendously difficult to go out and build a new team that could compete in the Premier League.

After a slow start to the second half, the game opened up after the hour mark as both sides went for the jugular. Dennis’ first goal for the club gave them hope of a second win of the campaign, but it was short-lived as Young produced the only real moment of quality in the match. In Forest’s first game since manager Steve Cooper was awarded a new contract, just days after reportedly being close to the sack, he saw his side put in an improved performance as they halted a horror run of results that had seen them slip to the bottom of the table.

Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa recap: The Reds raced out to an early lead but settled for a 1-1 draw with precious few scoring chances at the City Ground.

QUESTIONABLE: Leon Bailey (undisclosed), Calum Chambers (illness) As for Aston Villa, it took a bit of time but things are moving in the right direction as Steven Gerrard appears to have emerged from his first serious case of managerial hot seat. Thus the response from Aston Villa came almost immediately and the prospect of scoring a second goal seemed even more unlikely than the first one. There were murmurs that Steve Cooper’s job might be in jeopardy if Forest don’t start picking up positive results, but owner Evangelos Marinakis moved rather quickly to put the speculation to bed. Emmanuel Dennis headed home his first Premier League goal for Nottingham Forest (5 points – 19th place), as the former Watford striker redirected Morgan Gibbs-White’s corner kick in the 15th minute. They so nearly got there in the end, but Forest and Villa never quite managed to combine for a full 1.0 xG on Monday (they topped out at 0.95), where neither side could string anything together in the final third.

Cooper certainly won the public relations battle. Villa looked more incisive, but at the other end, Forest twice threatened a winner from distance. The hardworking Watkins went closer with a downward header at the far post which had Henderson scrambling to hold at the second attempt. Philippe Coutinho had another of those games where he was anonymous, his only vaguely memorable moment a wild shot which flew way off target at the start of the second half, before he was hauled off after the hour for Danny Ings. After chanting his name constantly a week ago in the 4-0 defeat at Leicester City, this gesture raised the roof at the City Ground. As one struggling Premier League manager from the Midlands called Steve appeared to have secured his immediate future, another one might envy his level of support on the terraces at least.

A chance for Villa from the resulting free-kick. Neither side did that much in a poor second half and neither deserved the three points. "We wanted to do it for the fans and ourselves. I thought we could have done better on the counter attack." Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a step in the right direction. But it was right for tonight and in the end we managed to get up the pitch and take the lead. For all the tactical stuff I loved the fight in the team and I think we did that better tonight. "If we don't change a little bit it would be naive. "What happened last season was unbelievable but we're in this league and it is a different sport to the Championship. We need everyone in the team to start adding more goals to what we have so far." Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't think we created enough to say we deserved to win. We finished with a really bold team out there to try and find that bit of magic and quality."

Ashley Young's strike for Aston Villa cancelled out Emmanuel Dennis's early goal in a 1-1 draw at struggling Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

“We need to focus in on the positives,” Cooper said. “The names are there, the talent’s there,” Gerrard said. “We’ve recruited big in that area of the pitch and it is only right that we demand and expect more.” Asked what the fans’ show of support means to him, Cooper succinctly replied: “Everything. At the final whistle Cooper embarked on a lap of the pitch, tapping his chest as he went.

After winning just one of their first seven league games, back-to-back victories have lifted West Ham to within four points of the top six. However, Ronaldo gave his Dutch coach a reminder of the predatory instincts he retains. “We don’t have to look yet at the table, but we know where we are. It is a situation where the referee could have another look at it in real time.” The connection, the way the unit worked, I was really happy with that. We deserved to win,” Arteta said after Arsenal moved one point clear of second placed Manchester City. We have to sort it and we will,” Klopp said. Martial only lasted 30 minutes after pulling up with a hip injury in the warm-up and his departure paved the way for Ronaldo to make his entrance. Antony became the first United player to score in his first three Premier League games with a cool finish from Martial’s pass. The team dealt with it with a lot of maturity and composure.” While Arsenal are on the up, Liverpool are in turmoil after their worst start for 10 years. “You look around our dressing room & see Coutinho, Buendia, Watkins, Ings, Bailey will be back soon.
