Steve Cooper, the manager of Nottingham Forest, was pleased with Ola Aina’s performance in his first game for the team.
Aina joined the Reds last month on a free transfer.
The 26-year-old earned his Tricky Trees debut on Sunday during a friendly loss to PSV Eindhoven of the Netherlands.
After the half, Neco Williams took over for the adaptable defender who had started the game.
Cooper hailed the Nigerian for his outstanding game performance.
Cooper told Forest TV, “I felt Ola was outstanding and shown some really good moments. It was good to have him on the field.
Aina will try to make his formal Forest debut next week when they play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
