Nottingham Forest

Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson and ex-Red Devil Jesse Lingard were the key men as Nottingham Forest defeated West Ham United.

He had a real impact on how we played as high up the pitch as we did. "We didn't deserve the result, that's for sure. For Forest, meanwhile, it's a dream home start to life back in the big time. He balanced off his game staying with midfield players and being with the two strikers. "Second half, the plan wasn't so much to sit off and see out the game, but I understand why the team had to play with a bit more caution. His ball ricocheted off Ben Johnson into the run of Awoniyi, with his stride having enough force to divert the ball past Lukasz Fabianski in first half stoppage-time. Alongside Lingard, the ex-Red Devils were proving to be the heroes for Forest. He also put himself on Kurt Zouma throughout in a real physical battle, when he should've shown the nous of taking the easier route by imposing himself on the shakier Ben Johnson instead. During the drinks break midway through the half, David Moyes was deep in conversation with him, in an attempt to rejuvenate his play. Lingard was constantly in space, played a few dangerous throughballs, instigated counter-attacks, and tracked back throughout to help defensively, particularly on the left wing. Thankfully, the changes were not to the structure of the ground, as the noise reverberated off the steel around this old-school stadium wonderfully. "Catching up 23 years in six weeks" was the phrase coming out of the club this week, and that was evident in the starting lineup, featuring eight new arrivals.

Taiwo Awoniyi fired Nottingham Forest to a 1-0 victory in their first home game back in the Premier League with Declan Rice missing a second-half penalty ...

We are still in that process of becoming the team and the squad that we want to be.” Pablo Fornals cracked the underside of the crossbar 23 seconds into the second half and shortly after the hour Benrahma curled a free-kick against almost the identical part of the goal frame. Lingard, who turned down West Ham in favour of a move to Forest this summer, started brightly but this gutsy Forest performance was about the collective, a team understandably still gelling. David Sullivan, the West Ham co-owner, arrived at the ground in a royal red Rolls-Royce but some Forest supporters took another mode of transport: arriving by boat on the River Trent. The buzz was palpable on an afternoon brimming with lasting images; captains Joe Worrall and Rice standing side by side in a cramped tunnel; the Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, in a white open-necked shirt, praying for a VAR check to go in their favour before Brennan Johnson’s strike was disallowed; Henderson blowing kisses to the stands after saving low to his right to deny Rice from 12 yards; the sheer noise as Born Slippy, the Trainspotting anthem, blared pre-match. The goal stemmed from Harry Toffolo’s surging run and cutback for Jesse Lingard, whose shot was tame enough for Ben Johnson to block, but on the verge of half-time Awoniyi was in the right place at the right time to open his account following a £17m move. How Nottingham Forest, this storied old club, had waited for a moment like this, as they edged out West Ham to savour their first Premier League win in 23 years.

Nottingham Forest won their first Premier League home game for 23 years with a 1-0 success over West Ham.

It was 100mph stuff and West Ham were again a lick of paint from an equaliser as Benrahma was denied by the woodwork, when his 20-yard free-kick hit the underside of the crossbar and into the grateful hands of Henderson. West Ham were millimetres from levelling within 25 seconds of the restart as Fornals sent a curling 20-yard effort crashing into the underside of the crossbar, with Tomas Soucek seeing his header from the rebound saved by Henderson. The Hammers were in danger of being overran, but were able to get a foothold in the game and thought they had taken the lead in the 42nd minute, only for VAR to intervene.

Taiwo Awoniyi's first half goal helped secure our first Premier League win since 1999 as The Reds defeated West Ham United 1-0 at The City Ground on Sunday ...

The City Ground had not hosted a top-flight match since 1999 and Taiwo Awoniyi ensured it was a winning homecoming for Forest.

“We played really well in the first half and maybe we should have created more. “The first 20 minutes frustrated me, I thought we were really poor. “We knew it was a very important day. We didn’t deserve the result we got that was for sure but we did in the end. “There were two things today, the occasion, the event of the first home game back in the Premier League, so important to so many people and we were never going to treat it as a normal game, it was more than that,” he said. The Forest fans had waited a long time for that moment and Cooper was aware of the importance.

Declan Rice was guilty of a dreadful penalty miss as West Ham United fell to a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Rice stepped up but Henderson, in front of the watching Gareth Southgate, went the right way and saved.

Steve Cooper turned to the Forest fans and clenched both fists.

It came during stoppage time before the end of the first half when left-back Harry Toffolo sliced his way into West Ham’s penalty box.

He has the most touched of any Forest player on the pitch.” Williams was also decent at the back. Today, he showed some of the class that Forest will need. Forest were in control of the clash at 1-0 up and West Ham’s best chances came from set-piece situations.
