Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has been named in the BBC Premier League Team of the Week following his impressive performance last weekend.

The BBC's Team of the Week was compiled by former Watford captain Troy Deeney.

Aina produced a remarkable performance to help Nottingham Forest secure a 2-0 victory away at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Brazilian international Igor Jesus gave The Reds an early lead in the third minute before Nigerian international Taiwo Awoniyi added the second goal 10 minutes from full-time.

Sharing his thoughts on Aina's performance, Deeney said, “The Brentford team he faced is well known for getting crosses in from the wide areas. I thought he defended excellently at the far post in Forest’s 2-0 win, cleared everything. He was good at dealing with how people tried to run at him. He offered a lot going forward, too.”

Also included in Deeney's Team of the Week are Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa), Ian Maatsen (Aston Villa), Marc Guehi (Manchester City), Jorge Cuenca (Fulham), and Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa).

Others are Ibrahim Sangare (Nottingham Forest), Emiliano Buendia (Aston Villa), Patrick Dorgu (Manchester United), Estevao Willian (Chelsea), and Igor Jesus (Nottingham Forest).
