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.

Referee Jones gets the second half under way as Forest take the kick-off. Can Burnley hold on for their first win of the season? We’re about to find out...

Cooper has problems to address during half-time as Montiel simply hasn't coped with the energetic Koleosho, who has dominated the World Cup winner in every single duel on the left flank. A switch to a back three could be a solution for Forest, while Kompany will be satisfied but urging his Burnley players to be more composed when in possession.

Forest have it all to do in the second half as Cooper's side head into the interval 1-0 down to Burnley. A moment of magic from Koleosho created the Clarets' 41st-minute opener, with the winger cutting back for Foster, whose miscued effort teed up a fine Amdouni finish to silence the City Ground. Kompany's side are yet to win this season in the Premier League, but they are halfway to doing so!

CLOSE! Gibbs-White plays easily through the centre for Elanga before the Sweden international powers towards the edge of the area with Al Dakhil tracking back. The former Manchester United winger curls a right-footed attempt that is never beating Trafford, who makes a comfortable stop down the middle of his goal.

There will be two minutes to end this first half as Aina blasts a torrid effort well over the crossbar from range.

Sangare, seemingly fed up with his team-mate Montiel's incompetence in defending against the winger, intervenes as Koleosho looks to burst inside once more. Cooper has a decision to make over the right-back at half-time.

A World Cup and Europa League winner last season, Montiel has endured a torrid game against the impressive Koleosho. Every time the Burnley winger gets on the ball it looks like a chance could come from nothing, and the Clarets have finally made Forest pay!

Forest have scored in each of their last 11 Premier League matches, their longest scoring streak in the top-flight since a run of 14 between February and August 1995. Cooper's hosts have offered some threat towards Trafford's goal here, but not enough to break the deadlock thus far.
