VILLA GET DOUBLE MCGINN & TONIC BUT FOREST ARE CHRONIC
GIVING 'EM WAT FOR: In-form Ollie Watkins bangs in another goal SOMETHING TO DINK ABOUT: Morgan Gibbs-White gives Forest brief hope by clipping past Emi Martinez
JOHN MCGINN ran riot as Aston Villa rolled back the years and took care of a wretched Nottingham Forest side with ease.
Not since the 1989-90 season under Graham Taylor have Villa been so formidable in front of their own fans and they finished second to Liverpool in that campaign.
McGinn's double - the second of which came from 35 yards - and a goal from Ollie Watkins made it 11 home wins in a row for Unai Emery's men in all competitions.
Watkins celebrated his 250th appearance with his fourth strike in three over the festive period to spearhead a victory that deepens the gloom over Forest.
It got Villa back to winning ways after their midweek 4-1 humbling at Arsenal, moving into second ahead of the rest of the weekend's Premier League action, but just as importantly opened up a 12-point gap over fifth-placed Chelsea as they tightened their grip on a Champions League spot.
