Pre-season: Ola Aina gets positive ratings

. Dennis impresses
...As Nottingham Forest draws 1-1 with Sunderland

Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina not only had a decent game in Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw in a pre-season friendly, he also provided the assist for Omar Richards at the Pinatar Arena.
It was a debut goal for Richards, reports www.sportsunlimited.ng.

It was Forest's second friendly of pre-season, which saw the Reds with plenty of the ball in the first half and put together some nice passing moves; but just couldn’t make the most of the chances.

Ola Aina provided Nicolas Dominguez as the Nigerian saw his perfectly laid pass fluffed by Dominguez in the opening 10 minutes..

Forest continued to push and it took a strong block from Sunderland to thwart Morgan Gibbs-White just past the half-hour mark. But with no breakthrough, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side fell behind with 38 minutes gone.

Sloppy play by Murillo saw him concede a penalty for a challenge on Chris Rigg. Carlos Miguel was then beaten from the spot by Jack Clarke.

During the course of the match, Aina pinged some terrific balls forward, including setting up Dominguez with one inside the first few minutes. Got forward well down the left flank.

The other Nigerian for Forest, Emmanuel Dennis didn't do badly either as he was keen to prove a point in pre-season - whether to catch the eye of Nuno or any potential suitors.

He worked hard and did his best to scrap for the ball.
