Aina gave Nottingham Forest the lead inside five minutes, finding the bottom corner with an excellent first-time finish from 25 yards after he was picked out by Harry Toffolo.

It was his first goal in Nottingham Forest colours in what was his eighth appearance for the club  following his summer transfer from Torino.

The five-goal shortlist also includes efforts from Anthony Elanga, B Team duo Ateef Konaté and Jack Thompson and  Women midfielder Niamh Reynolds.

Aina netted his first goal as a Nottingham Forest player after logging 475 minutes spread across eight games in the Premier League.. 

The Chelsea Academy product has three career goals to his name in the Premier League, including two during a loan spell at Fulham in 2020-2021.

Aina has also been nominated for Nottingham Forest's Player of the Month, along with Taiwo Awoniyi and seventeen other players.
