Nottingham Forest right back, Ola Aina has described his team’s away draw at Crystal Palace as a “good result” despite its possible ramification for their European aspiration.
He made this known during an interview with Sky Sports after the league encounter.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side held their hosts to a 1-1 draw at the Selhurst Park on Monday.
England international, Eberechi Eze opened the scoring for Palace from the penalty spot on the hour mark.
Centre-back, Murillo, however, equalised for Forest from a deflected effort four minutes later.
The Tricky Trees have recently witnessed a slump in form, recording five points from a possible 15.

They now sit in sixth position and face the prospect of missing out on UEFA Champions League (UCL) qualification.
Speaking after the match, Aina said given Nottingham Forest’s recent form, a draw wasn’t a bad result.
He said, “I think it’s a good point away from home. Tough to come here — they are a good side. And you know, with the level that we hit recently, a point is a good result.”
He added, “It just happens. This is football, sometimes it just doesn’t go your way.
“Unfortunately for us, it hasn’t gone our way recently but the hard work continues and we try to get three points every game but we couldn’t get that today.”
