Nottingham Forest claimed a tight 1-0 victory over West Ham at the City Ground as Taiwo Awoniyi scored the only goal of the game.
The hosts made an electric start, with Łukasz Fabiański forced into a superb save from Moussa Niakhate’s back-post header, while Awoniyi, making his first start for the club, nodded just wide.
Ad Harry Toffolo’s last ditch block denied Tomas Soucek at the other end, before the Hammers thought they had taken the lead when Said Benrahma slid home, only for the goal to be ruled out after a VAR check because of a push on Orel Mangala in the build-up.
