According to Nottingham Post Aina was rated 6.5/10 and Awoniyi got 5.5/10.
Commenting on Aina’s performance, the publication wrote: “A bit better from the full-back after a dip in form in the Premier League. Looked steadier defensively than he has in recent games and did try to push on a bit, especially in the second half.”
For Awoniyi: “Didn’t get a great deal by way of service in the first half as the Reds lacked a spark in the final third. Touch let him down when the situation improved after the break. Quite a tough evening for the front man.”
Meanwhile, Forest will take on fellow Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
