Ola Aina is aiming to finish the season on a high with Nottingham Forest after they defeated Brentford away from home on Saturday in the Premier League, Afrosport reports.
The Nigerian full-back put Forest ahead at the Gtech Community Stadium in the 38th minute before former Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga doubled their lead in the second half.
The result kept Forest in the top four, four points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City which Aina hopes to see continue as the season progresses.
“You don’t know, but it’s really good work what we’re doing. We are just focusing on ourselves, and taking it game by game,” the former Chelsea player told BBC Sport.
“But it is good to dream a little bit. As long as we work hard and just keep our heads and not get too carried away, I’m sure things will be fantastic, come May.”
