Warburton left frustrated as Villa clinch victory against Forest

Nottingham Forest succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday marking their sixth straight loss in all competitions.

Daryl Murphy’s second half strike cancelled out Albert Adomah’s opener for Villa but Forest’s profligacy in front of goal proved to be fatal as Villa grabbed the winner through a Conor Hourihane free-kick.

Forest boss Mark Warburton was left dejected at full-time and claimed that there were no excuses for his side’s toothless performance.

“There are no excuses. As a group, we make no excuses. We started really brightly and the goal went in – and you literally saw people drop,” said Warburton.
