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.

Burnley have lost all three of their Premier League games so far this season – only twice in their history have they lost their first four in a league campaign, doing so in 1927-28 (top-flight) and 2002-03 (second tier). Kompany’s side have just over 30 minutes to survive and end that poor run.

Cooper's hosts are increasing the intensity as Mangala sees a wicked effort blocked on the edge of the box. Elanga recovers possession and crosses for Gibbs-White, who can't make the right contact and heads harmlessly over from near the penalty spot.

CLOSE! Gibbs-White whips a curling set-piece towards the six-yard area but Al Dakhil heads away from danger. A loose ball falls to Mangala, whose right-footed attempt bends narrowly over when the midfielder aims for the top-right corner.

Hudson-Odoi's low left-wing cross interests Awoniyi before Beyer turns behind for a corner. Burnley want a free-kick, but the referee points to the corner for Forest.

Cooper appears to have seen enough from his defence as Tavares prepares to come on. Montiel is the safe bet for the full-back who will be removed, with the World Cup winner on a yellow card and repeatedly being tormented by Koleosho.

WIDE! Burnley's right-sided corner is cleared as far as Taylor, who smashes a rocket of a left-footed volley towards the bottom-left corner. Turner remains motionless as the Forest goalkeeper watches the ball sail narrowly wide to his right.

CHANCE! Koleosho, unsurprisingly, causes more problems down the left-hand side before offloading to the edge of the area. Amdouni is again the recipient but his left-footed strike is deflected behind by Mangala. Turner appears concerned for a minute before the attempt trickles off target.

Since the start of last season, Awoniyi has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Forest player (15 – 13 goals, two assists). He's scored or assisted in each of his last eight appearances in the competition, netting nine goals in this run and assisting Elanga's winner against Chelsea last time out. The striker is yet to truly get involved in this game, though.

Koleosho gets a first chance to attack Montiel on the left flank in this half, but his delivery is poor and Worrall heads away with ease. The City Ground is in a quiet lull as Forest fans eagerly await improvements in the second period.
