Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
And that’s the end of matchday one here at the City Ground, with some late drama giving the visitors Bournemouth a point against the run of play. The 1-1 scoreline will frustrate Forest, who dominated large spells of the contest today. The home side went into half-time with a 1-0 lead after striker Wood struck home inside the Cherries box. Bournemouth barely threatened the Forest goal, aside from a disallowed goal in the first half for offside, yet managed to record a higher xG of 1.56 compared to Forest’s xG of 1.12. You’d have to say that the xG may have been boosted by the visitors’ goal, which came from a great Christie delivery that ricocheted to the feet of Semenyo and the striker simply smashed the ball home from two yards out for a late and surprising equaliser. Forest finished the game with slightly more possession, recording 53% of the ball and ultimately not making the most of their stronghold in today’s contest. Both sides will fancy their chances to record their first three points next weekend, with Forest travelling down to Southampton and Bournemouth hosting Newcastle on matchday two. That’s all from us today, thanks for tuning in!

A great ball from Billing into the box and Murillo just gets there ahead of Jebbison to clear for a corner and stop what likely would have been the winner! The resulting corner is eventually booted away.

Bournemouth will be the much happier side to come out with a point here, having rarely threatened the Forest defence. Nuno’s side are pushing for a late winner to reward the home fans for their continuous support throughout today’s match.

Five minutes left for both sides to try and get a winner late on here. Can either side record three points today or are the spoils going to be shared?

Great play from Gibbs-White, skipping past a couple of midfielders and laying the ball off to Yates whose effort on goal is straight at Neto.

With just over six minutes of regular time left, Bournemouth need a spark to get back into this game. Can Billing provide that spark? He replaces Cook.

Andersen attempts to lay the ball into the path of Awoniyi but doesn’t quite get enough on it. The Forest striker would have surely been through on goal had the ball been a better one.
