Jonathan Kodjia didn’t get score for Aston Villa against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but his all-round performance bodes well for their promotion hopes this season.
Kodjia had a hand in both goals as Villa secured a 2-1 victory to move up to 10th in the Championship and further ease the pressure on manager Steve Bruce.
One win in their opening seven games of the season sparked rumours Bruce’s position was under threat, but Villa are slowly gathering momentum and are now 4/1 to win promotion.
“It was a typical Championship match – but we took our chances when we needed to,” he told the club’s official website.
