Nottingham Forest secured a late 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday, extending Villa’s winless streak in the Premier League to four matches. Igor Jesus scored the decisive goal in the 88th minute, marking Forest’s first win under their new manager, Oliver Glasner.

The match saw Forest take an early lead shortly after halftime when Liam Delap, whose recent £50 million transfer had put pressure on him to perform, netted a goal in the 46th second of the second half. Villa responded to the early setback and managed to equalize through Alysson, who scored the club’s first goal of the league campaign. Despite Villa’s efforts to push for a positive result, Jesus's late strike ultimately secured the three points for Forest.

In another notable fixture, Ipswich Town claimed a dramatic 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace, with Zian Flemming scoring in the 90th minute to complete a comeback in a high-scoring encounter. Crystal Palace initially took the lead via Anan Khalaili but Ipswich responded quickly when Emersonn equalized for the home side.

The contest shifted further when Palace was reduced to 10 men following Axel Disasi’s dismissal for serious foul play. This dismissal significantly impacted the match, leaving Palace to defend with one player fewer for over an hour. Ipswich capitalized on the numerical advantage, with Leif Davis scoring to give them the lead. Although Jorgen Strand Larsen managed to equalize for Palace in the latter stages, Flemming’s last-minute goal sealed the victory, earning Ipswich their second win of the season.

These results highlight continued struggles for Aston Villa early in the Premier League campaign, while Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town both gained momentum with narrow late victories.
