Super Eagles defender Ola Aina joined his Nottingham Forest teammates in celebrating their commanding 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. The win marked another strong performance from Forest, who are now third in the Premier League standings.
Aina was involved in a contentious moment during the match when his cross struck Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri’s arm inside the penalty box. After a VAR review, referee Peter Banks chose not to award a penalty. Despite this, Forest cruised to victory, with goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood, and Taiwo Awoniyi sealing the result. Anthony Elanga provided the assist for Gibbs-White’s opener, which added extra sting for Wolves, given Gibbs-White’s history as a former Wolves player.
Following the match, Elanga posted a celebratory photo on Instagram of his handshake celebration with Gibbs-White. Aina humorously commented, “My boys are warm,” joining in the camaraderie, while Callum Hudson-Odoi added fire emojis to the post.
Aina, 28, has been a standout for Forest this season, appearing in 20 matches, scoring twice, and excelling both defensively and offensively. Forest’s win places them level with Arsenal on 40 points, six behind league leaders Liverpool.
