Aston Villa-mad Joe Lolley scored against Birmingham yet again on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest beat Birmingham City 3-0 on Saturday afternoon, and winger Joe Lolley certainly enjoyed the victory at the City Ground.
Lolley opened the scoring for Forest, before Lewis Grabban and Michael Dawson wrapped up an impressive win, their first of the new Championship season.
Forest fans loved the display, and Lolley was even happier given that he grew up supporting Birmingham’s bitter city rivals Aston Villa.
Lolley will always relish beating the Blues, but his record against them is now frankly ridiculous, scoring four times in eight league games against them.
Birmingham fans are sick of the sight of Lolley scoring against them now, given his Villa ties, but the player himself has been taking to Twitter to mock the Blues.
He firstly posted a tweet after the game simply saying ‘great win’ and a photo of himself celebrating in front of the Birmingham fans, and then replying to a Blues fan’s angry response.
Villa fans unsurprisingly celebrated the tweets, urging the club to sign him; after all, Villa boss Dean Smith wanted to sign him this past summer, as reported by Sky Sports.
Villa star Jack Grealish even got involved by retweeting Lolley’s second tweet mocking the Blues, and supporters will hope to see them in claret and blue one day – but for now, Lolley will just be hoping to mount a promotion push with Forest.
