Ola Aina impressed with his dribbling mastery throughout the quarter-finals of the FA Cup as he inspired Nottingham Forest’s stirring win against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

The Nigerian defender dominated the Nottingham Forest vs. Brighton & Hove Albion game by achieving five dribbles, as reported by WhoScored, scoring Forest’s only advance in the tournament. His efforts paired with the team’s skills allowed for a 4-3 penalty victory after 120 minutes of intense action at the Amex Stadium.

Aina defeated some of the best Premier League dribblers as he executed five out of seven attempted dribbles in the match, compared to De Bruyne and Silvas’ single wins against Bournemouth in City’s 2-1 victory.

In their 3-0 victory against Fulham, Crystal Palace forwards Eze and Sarr did not contribute any successful dribbles, while Iwobi managed only a single successful dribble in the match.

Aina stood out as a strong defender while not in the offense, allowing him to record five clearances, eight ground duels, and two major tackles that restricted goals.

His remarkable performance saw him gain a position in WhoScored’s FA Cup Team of the Round.
