Nottingham Forest vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The City Ground
Burnley earned their first point since returning to the Premier League but were left frustrated by a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest on Monday after having a late goal ruled out.
Vincent Kompany’s side soaked up some early pressure and then took the lead after 41 minutes with a superb finish by Zeki Amdouni after good work by Luca Kolesoho.
Burnley grew in confidence and looked comfortable in the opening stages of the second half but were rocked when Callum Hudson-Odoi curled in a superb 61st-minute equaliser.
Forest sought to maintain the momentum but it was Burnley who thought they had re-taken the lead when Lyle Foster slotted in Sander Berge’s low cross but the goal was disallowed for a harsh-looking handball against Berge.
There was worse to come for Foster who was sent off in stoppage time for an elbow.

There's all sorts going on in the Burnley area as Awoniyi goes down when aiming to attack an Elanga cross. A tangle of legs between the Forest striker and Origi seemed to cause the fall, and the hosts will have to settle for a corner on the left flank.

Foster, whose goal has just been ruled out, has scored in his last two Premier League games for Burnley, having netted just once in his first 12 league games for the Clarets. Benni McCarthy (five instances between 2006-2009) and Steven Pienaar (2010) are the only South African players to have scored in three consecutive appearances in the competition.

NO GOAL! The VAR instructs Jones to review his decision at the touchline monitor. After watching the goal back, the referee deems Berge has handled when controlling the bouncing ball and rules out the goal. The score remains 1-1 and Burnley may feel slightly aggrieved!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL! 2-1 BURNLEY! The Clarets strike against the run of play and Forest can only blame their defence. A long pass over the top catches McKenna in two minds as Berge bursts through and into the area before squaring for Foster, who taps into an empty net. The Burnley striker was never going to miss from there, but wait… there’s going to be a VAR check on this one!

After running Montiel all over the place in the first half, Koleosho is withdrawn for Tresor's Burnley debut.

Gibbs-White swings in a corner from the right flank but Awoniyi can't find space to attack the delivery at the far post. Koleosho looks to launch a counter-attack but Tavares displays his speed to play back towards the feet of Turner.

OVER! Roberts attempts back-to-back long throw-ins, the second of which falls kindly on the volley for Zaroury. The Burnley substitute strikes a first-time right-footed effort that is always rising well over Turner's goal.

Brownhill will breathe a sight of relief as Forest's right-sided corner comes to nothing. Down the other end, Foster forces a throw-in near the far corner and Burnley will fancy their chances from a long ball into the box.
