Aston Villa earned victory over relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest at Villa Park to maintain their European push.

Bertrand Traore struck first after halftime, with a superb curler past Forest goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Then Ollie Watkins sealed the game in the final minute of injury time.

Villa have now won 11 of their 17 games since boss Unai Emery took charge, winning in their last four matches.

Forest's poor run of form leaves them sitting in 18th, inside the relegation zone on goal difference. Villa are six points off fifth-placed Tottenham with eight games remaining.
