A Morgan Gibbs-White hat trick delivered a 4-1 comeback win for Nottingham Forest against Burnley at the City Ground on Sunday.
Super Eagles right-back Ola Aina was in action for Forest and saw 90 minutes of action. His Nigerian teammate Taiwo Awoniyi, however, was an unused substitute.
Burnley led 1-0 through Zian Flemming and threatened to put a few more kernels of hope in their safety plan.
Unfortunately, relegation is now almost-certain after Gibbs-White’s second-half hat-trick.
Igor Jesus was also on target for Forest, who pull five points clear of the bottom three and 16 past 19th-place Burnley.
The Clarets are 12 points adrift and can only claim 15 more points, with Manchester City up next for them.
In the Merseyside derby a Virgil van Dijk goal in added time gave Liverpool a 2-1 win at Everton.
The Reds remain fifth on 55 points in the league table.
