Taiwo Awoniyi has scored Nottingham Forest’s first English top-flight goal in 23 years as the newly promoted Premier League club lead West Ham 1-0 at The City Ground.
Forest made a good start to the game but seemed to run out of steam which allowed the Hammers back into the match. The London club scored through Said Benrahma just before the deadlock was broken but the goal was chalked off due to a foul off the ball by Michail Antonio.
Just a few minutes later Nottingham Forest went up the pitch and scored through their new striker.
