Aina discloses Walker’s words

In an interview with the Guardian UK, the former Torino defender shared insights into the incident and revealed Walker's surprise at his pace.

"Even though the clip shows I got past him, it wasn't as easy as it may have looked. I remember when it happened, I saw him and thought, I might as well just try it, and I put everything into it."

"Afterwards, he said something like, 'You're pretty quick, and you caught me flat-footed,' but he was very chilled about it. He's done the same thing to other players so many times."

The 27-year-old has made 21 appearances across all competitions for Forest this season, registering a goal and an assist, according to data from Fotmob.
