Lucas Digne pulls rank with his left foot and it's high into the Holte End.

Free-kick for Villa in a great position.

Perfect for the right boot of Morgan Rogers...

Into the final 10 minutes at the City Ground.

Can Forest salvage something or will Brighton hang on to the three points?

One of the most ludicrous red cards you will see!

Lucas Paqueta owes his team-mates a huge apology for his behaviour.

He is shown a first yellow card for dissent after arguing with the referee following Niclas Füllkrug's foul on Dominik Szoboszlai.

Paqueta then has to be calmed down by his team-mates but is still in the face of referee Darren England, who then produces a second yellow card and then a red.

Paqueta then sarcastically applauds the referee as he walks off the pitch.

Rob Edwards has made a clever move taking off Yerson Mosquera.

It might be tactical, but he was running a fine line on a yellow card and that could really ruin Wolves' hopes of getting anything out of this game.

Very clever management.

Poor decision making from Ryan Yates to go for goal at the tightest of angles.

Forest look short of ideas.

Jhon Arias may be a lucky boy there as he's given a yellow card.

Don't think I've ever seen that from a VAR review before.

Into the final 10 minutes.

Liverpool's travelling fans are making themselves heard.

It's all about game-management now for the Reds.

Will they see this over the line?

Aston Villa 1-0 Wolves

Now then, what's this?

The game is stopped as the referee is sent to the screen to look at Jhon Arias' challenge on Boubacar Kamara.

They're looking at a potential red card here.

Wirtz looked happier, he played in a role he wants to play in, the number 10. Dominic Szoboszlai is the best in that position but at the moment Szoboszlai plays anywhere because he's the best player at Liverpool. But Wirtz has had a really good afternoon - he looked confident and like he had a spring in his step.

This is drifting away from West Ham so Nuno Espirito Santo decides the time is right to make a second change - Niclas Füllkrug for Callum Wilson.

Two more changes for Forest. Ibrahim Sangare and Igor Jesus are replaced by Ryan Yates and Arnaud Kalimuendo.

Two men who scored on Thursday night in the Europa League.

Yerson Mosquera goes in the book for some off the ball silliness with Ezri Konsa.

A double change for Villa with Youri Tielemans and Donyell Malen making way for Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana.

Andre and Joao Gomes have really cut down the space Aston Villa have had in the middle of the park this afternoon.

That goal was the one occasion when they weren't there on the edge of the box.

John McGinn is teed up and he looks to place one into the far corner. It strikes Jorgen Strand Larsen and goes wide.

That could've gone anywhere.

Florian Wirtz makes way for Curtis Jones.

Villa Park erupts as John McGinn runs the length of the pitch with the ball and wins a corner.

The Holte End breaks out into, "We've got McGinn!"
