Speaking after the game, the Portuguese manager was pleased with his team’s win, and singled out Aina’s goal for recognition.

So we are delighted that almost every player starts to giving the belief that he can the team with goals. That was a very positive and a beautiful goal from Ola Aina,” Nuno Espirito Santo told Nottingham Forest official website after the win against West Ham United.
