'Sometimes it doesn't go your way' - Ola Aina reflects on Forest's poor form after draw v Crystal Palace

Nottingham Forest were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace in a Premier League clash at Selhurst Park on Monday night.

It could have been worse for the Reds as they were a goal behind when Eberechi Eze converted a spot kick after 
Tyrick Mitchell was adjudged to have been fouled by Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels before the hour mark.

Nottingham Forest had a good spell after Palace's goal and through a bit of improvisation restored parity in the 64th minute. 

A shot from Neco Williams was probably going wide but it was flicked in by the charismatic Murillo, who had to go off with ten minutes left due to injury. 

Ola Aina's injury issues appear to be over, with the right back going the distance despite picking up a booking for a foul in the 82nd minute.

Aina has described Nottingham Forest's away draw as a 'good point,' acknowledging the difficulty of facing strong opposition on the road.

In an interview with Sky Sports, monitored by allnigeriasoccer.com, Aina stated: "I think it's a good point away from home. Tough to come here — they are a good side. And you know, with the level that we hit recently, a point is a good result."

Reflecting on Forest's recent run of form with just four points from a possible fifteen, Aina offered a candid explanation and stressed that they are focused on turning things around.

"It just happens. This is football, sometimes it just doesn't go your way.

"Unfortunately for us, it hasn't gone our way recently but the hard work continues and we try to get three points every game but we couldn't get that today."

Nottingham Forest stay sixth in the Premier League table, with Chelsea and Newcastle United above them.

The Magpies face the Blues this weekend, while Nuno Espirito Santo's side are at home to relegated Leicester City.
