Nottingham Forest Mark Premier League Homecoming With West Ham Win

Nottingham Forest celebrated their first home game in the Premier League for 23 years by beating West Ham 1-0 on Sunday. The two-time European champions have made 14 new signings in a bid to maintain their top-flight status and two of those making their home debuts were the heroes as Taiwo Awoniyi scored the only goal and Dean Henderson saved Declan Rice's penalty.

Forest had fortune on their side as the Hammers also had a first-half goal controversially ruled out and hit the underside of the crossbar twice after the break through Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma.

But that mattered little to a capacity 30,000 crowd at the City Ground, who roared the home side over the line. West Ham have now lost both their opening two games of the season, but in stark contrast to a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend, they should have taken at least a point back to London.

Benrahma's cool finish from Rice's pass was ruled out after a VAR review for a foul by Michail Antonio as he blocked off Moussa Niakhate.
