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.

CLOSE! Hudson-Odoi has the home crowd on their feet after driving inside from the left and powering a right-footed effort that is blocked by a wall of Burnley shirts. A loose ball almost falls for Awoniyi, but the Clarets just about manage to intervene.

Forest have lost just one of their last 10 league games played on a Monday (W5 D4), going down 4-0 at Leicester City in October last season. Six of those games have been at the City Ground, with Forest winning five of those (D1).

Gibbs-White's inviting free-kick has Awoniyi interested before Trafford punches an assured clearance away from danger. The Clarets won't want to give the Forest playmaker too many set-piece opportunities in that sort of range.

Foster remains down after a Worrall tackle near the halfway line, but he will have to get to his feet to defend a Forest free-kick after Cullen hauls down Hudson-Odoi.

SAVE! Foster turns Sangare inside and out before driving towards the edge of the area, from which the Burnley striker looks to curl a right-footed attempt towards goal. Turner gets down well to make the first save of the game.

The away side enjoy a sustained spell of possession over the opening couple of minutes, albeit making little progression up towards Turner's goal. A wayward Taylor pass backwards entices Awoniyi but Trafford is quick to race out and recycle the ball.

Nottingham Forest vs Burnley
This is the first top-flight meeting between Forest and Burnley since February 1971, with the former winning 1-0 at the City Ground thanks to an Ian Storey-Moore strike. It is also the first encounter between the two sides in any division since February 2016 – the Clarets won that Championship encounter 1-0 at Turf Moor. Ready for the next edition? Kick-off is on the way…

Kompany makes just two alterations to his last line-up that was thrashed by Tottenham in front of the home Clarets supporters. Taylor returns to the side, as well as captain Brownhill. Berge is named among the substitutes after his omission, while Dara O’Shea is not among Burnley’s squad. Deadline-day arrival Tresor will be an option from the bench for the visitors.

Cooper opts for four alterations to his starting XI that overcame the Blues at Stamford Bridge. Hudson-Odoi and Sangare, signed from Chelsea and PSV respectively on deadline day, come in for their debuts, while World Cup winner Montiel and ex-Manchester United winger Elanga get the nod on either flank. Serge Aurier, Danilo and Ryan Yates miss out entirely and the other replacement, Danilo, drops to the bench, which also includes new loanee Origi.
