Nottingham Forest

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. “In terms of the game, I was so happy with our attitude and confidence going into the first half, the atmosphere was amazing anyway but that raised it even more. “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.

MBM report: Taiwo Awoniyi struck for Forest before Declan Rice had a penalty saved by Dean Henderson as Steve Cooper's men clung on for a win.

West Ham think it’s a handball, and they have a case. Henderson was motionless as it hit the underside of the bar and bounced back into his arms. West Ham must feel like they are destined not to score today: they’ve hit the underside of the bar twice, missed a penalty and had a goal dubiously disallowed. Rice’s imperfect penalty, dragged low to his left, is saved superbly by Dean Henderson. He clenches his fist and waves it triumphantly before getting to his feet. Forget the goal, which was lucky; he looks a proper handful for defenders. But enough about that shower, we’re watching Forest v West Ham! I know this sounds ridiculous at this precise moment in time, but I don’t. Excellent goalkeeper though he is, Henderson isn’t good enough for Man Utd IMO; he showed that in 2020-21. 83 min: Off the line by Williams! So much for being comfortable. 86 min Hi Rob,” says Tony Mason. “I think it’s wonderful how these teams have embraced the 30th anniversary of the Premier League by playing like it’s 1992. I’m so happy for this man [Worrall] as well, he’s waited so long for this opportunity. “It’s not the best we’ve played by any stretch of the imagination. We need to make sure this place is bouncing for every single fixture this season.

On the hour mark, West Ham winger Benrahma hit the woodwork from distance before Soucek's shot was blocked by the slightly extended arm of Forest defender Scott McKenna, resulting in a penalty for the visitors after a VAR replay. Awoniyi scored Forest's first Premier League goal in 23 years in first-half stoppage time and it proved to be the difference as both teams had goals disallowed by VAR and West Ham captain Declan Rice had a second-half penalty saved. A first-half goal from Taiwo Awoniyi was enough to earn Nottingham Forest a 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday, their first victory of the new Premier League season as the City Ground hosted top-flight football for the first time since 1999.

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi scored the club's first Premier League goal in 23 years against West Ham United on Sunday.

Next up for the Tricky Trees is a trip to Goodison Park in a match against Frank Lampard’s Everton side. It might not have been the prettiest first goal back, but they all count. 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.

Moussa Niakhate has compared Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien to former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere.

Niakhate was in fine form at the heart of Cooper’s defensive unit. The 23-year-old was energetic throughout the game. He clearly spent a lot of time with his players on the training ground this week and he’ll be delighted to claim a vital three points.

Former Nottingham Forest striker David Johnson has lauded Reds stars Dean Henderson and Neco Williams as outstanding.

Both Williams and Henderson will likely be integral this season. Forest will need these proven performers this season. Forest travel to Everton next weekend.

Taiwo Awoniyi got the only goal in a game full of drama as Dean Henderson saved a penalty, West Ham twice hit the underside of the bar and each team had a goal ...

Lewis O'Brien is far from the biggest name Forest have added this summer, but he had a brilliant home debut. They're going to need that throughout this season as the pressure will be on at points in every game. Was also unfortunate to see a really good header from a Neco Williams cross drift wide. The former Huddersfield man will not give up his place to Remo Freuler or Ryan Yates and Jack Colback when they return. Key moments went against each side, with each having a goal ruled out with influence from VAR. On both occasions it was the right call. It certainly wasn't a dull game, was it?

The latest Nottingham Forest transfer news as Steve Cooper continues to add to his squad following the first Premier League win of the season.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano , Forest are now ‘closing in’ on a move for the 26-year-old. He was an unused substitute for Brighton’s opening day win over Manchester United. The Reds have been very active in the transfer window so far this summer.

I think a yellow card is the right call.” Gallagher knows refereeing like the back of his hand. Both Gallagher and Warnock had their say on the decision not to send McKenna off.

It shows you how much they’ve been waiting to get top-flight football here.” The Reds supporters will be massive in the quest to avoid relegation back to the Championship. It’s a great old stadium, so it’s what we expected.

Jim Beglin has said that Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi deserved his slice of fortune yesterday as the Reds beat West Ham.

Last season, he fired 20 goals for Union Berlin, helping them qualify for the Europa League. He said live on air: “There’s an element of good fortune about this. Awoniyi got himself off the mark two minutes prior to half-time.

Nottingham Forest legend Garry Birtles discussed the club's attacking options on the latest Garibaldi Red podcast.

"He's a good player to have in the squad. If he gets the chance he can still do that. I had to be a bit niggly with defenders. You have to give him time as with any signing but I was quite impressed with what I saw. "That baffles me when you need to win a game. The greatest ones can create something out of nothing but otherwise you need that supply.

Nottingham Forest have had an extremely busy transfer window - here's a handy breakdown of the new recruits.

Orel Mangala is both quick with the ball at his feet and quick to spot a pass. The 30-year-old is a quality all-round player but his influence at Atalanta saw him allow the attacking players around him the freedom to create. Cooper was keen to add some physical presence in the middle and, on that front, Forest still have Ryan Yates to come back from injury. It is a position Forest might still strengthen in before the end of the window. But, equally, if he does well, there is a good chance they will stay up. Lewis O’Brien, who was a key figure for promotion rivals Huddersfield, has quickly acclimatised at Forest. He might prove to be one of those players who often sees his work underappreciated. The signing of 29-year-old England international Jesse Lingard raised eyebrows, but it also involves rather less risk than many might believe. It would not be Forest without the club having to deal with some kind of mini-crisis at left-back. He may have to be patient for his chance in the capital. Jack Colback did a fine job playing on the left side for much of last season when Sheffield United loanee Max Lowe was injured. The 26-year-old started ahead of Cook and justified that decision with another commanding performance. They, along with Steve Cook, were the foundation on which Forest’s play-off push was built.
