Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson responds to Aston Villa draw with six-word message

Nottingham Forest attacker Brennan Johnson has insisted Monday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa gives his side 'something to build on'.

Ashley Young's long-range strike cancelled out Emmanuel Dennis' first goal for Forest in the first half. Neither side were able to net a decisive goal at the City Ground, ending the Reds' losing streak of five games.

The draw lifted Steve Cooper's side off the foot of the Premier League table, one point above Leicester City following the Foxes' 2-1 defeat at AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.

Johnson played the whole 90 minutes against Steven Gerrard's men and showed glimpses of getting back to the form he hit last season. After the game, the 21-year-old shared an image of him in action against Villa with a short message to the Reds supporters.

He said: "Support was unreal. Something to build on."

Forest have three games in the space of a week upcoming against Wolves, Brighton and Liverpool. Saturday's trip to Molineux offers Cooper's men the chance to rise up to 15th in the table.
