“I think it was a big mistake from the referee,” Emery said in his post-match interview. “It’s difficult to accept, but we have to move on and focus on the next game.”
The defeat was a bitter pill for Villa to swallow, as they had been in control for large periods of the game. However, Forest’s late winner left Emery’s men reeling.
“We dominated the game and created many chances, but we couldn’t take them,” Emery said. “We have to be more clinical in front of goal and take our chances when they come.”
Villa’s defeat was made all the more painful by the fact that they had taken the lead through Ollie Watkins’ well-taken goal. However, Forest equalized shortly before halftime, and their late winner sealed the win.
“We’re disappointed with the result, but we have to take the positives from the game,” Emery said. “We played some good football and created chances, but we have to be more ruthless in front of goal.”
Villa will look to bounce back from this setback when they face Liverpool in their next Premier League match. The Reds are one of the top teams in the league, and Emery knows that his team will have to be at their best to get a result.
“It’s a big game against Liverpool, and we have to be ready,” Emery said. “We’ll work hard in training this week and make sure we’re prepared for the challenge.”
With the Premier League season heating up, Villa will need to put this defeat behind them and focus on getting a result against Liverpool. Can they bounce back and get their season back on track? Only time will tell.
