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.

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.
