Ola Aina’s spectacular long-range goal in Nottingham Forest’s 3-0 rout of West Ham has earned the Nigerian defender a nomination for the club’s Goal of the Season—a fitting cap to his stellar 2024/25 campaign. The strike, a testament to his growing influence, places him alongside stars like Hudson-Odoi and Elanga in Forest’s hall of memorable moments.
- Strike of Brilliance: Aina’s 78th-minute thunderbolt from outside the box showcased his attacking flair, marking his second goal of the season.
- Double Recognition: The nomination follows his earlier shortlisting for both the EA Sports FC and Fan Premier League Teams of the Season.
- Elite Company: Competing with goals from Forest’s top performers, including Chris Wood and Anthony Elanga.
- Consistent Form: Aina’s defensive solidity and occasional offensive bursts made him a key figure in Forest’s survival bid.
From Turin to Nottingham, Aina keeps proving his worth, one rocket at a time.
