The drinks break brings an end to a pulsating opening 25 minutes or so. They will look for a statement performance against West Ham after handing full debuts to Orel Mangala and Taiwo Awoniyi. 14 mins: Better from West Ham as Benrahma creates the space for a curled strike that is kept out by Henderson at full stretch, with Toffolo then crucially touching the ball to safety under huge pressure from Soucek.

Follow the action from the City Ground as Steve Cooper's Forest take on David Moyes' Hammers.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek brings it under control then lays it off to Reece James before Ryan Sessegnon hacks down the wingback to give Chelsea a free kick. James sends a couple of crosses into the box but the ball comes back to him each time. Spurs get the ball rolling again and Chelsea immediately push high. Koulibaly is waiting for the ball again but this time his volley is spooned well over the crossbar. However, they did have goalkeeper Dean Henderson to thank for keeping the three points as he saved Declan Rice’s second-half penalty. The City Ground had not hosted a top-flight match since 1999 and Taiwo Awoniyi ensured it was a winning homecoming for Forest with his first-half goal.

Nottingham Forest vs West Ham: Both sides will be desperate for their first win (and first goal) of the Premier League season when they meet on Sunday.

West Ham’s Said Benrahma led a rush that saw the ball return to him for a cool side-footed finish, but Forest had paused for just a second after Michail Antonio floored Orel Mangala. It seemed sure that Forest would win a VAR check of the offense, and it did. Dean Henderson: Good saves and box control were already on display when the Forest goalkeeper got low to stop Declan Rice’s penalty. Moments later, a flubbed Jesse Lingard shot turned off West Ham’s Ben Johnson and then Awoniyi for 1-0 to the hosts. Lukasz Fabianski: The West Ham keeper was the reason the Irons nearly got to the break with a scoreless scoreboard, and Forest needed a couple of goofy bounces to get over the goal line.

Forest was better in the early throes, buoyed by a huge and noisy City Ground, but West Ham then took hold before Forest’s strong finish to the first frame.

Taiwo Awoniyi had the City Ground bouncing like it hasn't for 23 years as his scrambled first-half goal set Nottingham Forest on course to a well-deserved ...

but if you look at it, we had good numbers up the pitch, made a lot of passes to get there, and sometimes you get what you deserve.” “The fans were amazing today and got off their feet with the way we started the game. Awoniyi left Liverpool for Germany last summer after a six-year stint at the Merseyside club, where he was regularly fielded out on loan. “As a striker you just have to be ready for anything around the goal. But had no further luck against the Forest centre-halves. Gianluca Scamacca – Led the line with Antonio hauled off. Tomas Soucek – Had a couple of first-half chances but his usual solidity alongside Rice was sorely missing. Never really commanded the centre of the field as we’re used to seeing. Lukasz Fabianski – Blocked Williams’ close-range effort on 40 mins, and produced a great save off a Niakhate header. Taiwo Awoniyi – Matched up to Zouma and Johnson, the target man Forest needed to get the crowd going. Harry Toffolo – It was his positive attitude to get on the ball and charge into the box, setting up the game’s only goal. But played with poise for the majority of the game.

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.

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.

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.
