Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
Iraola makes his second change of the game. Semenyo was probably one poorly timed tackle away from a second yellow card and being taken off. Sinisterra takes his place on the wing.

Scott switches the ball over to the right and finds Semenyo, who chests it down well and drives inside. He looks to work space for a shot, but Murillo clears it away. Semenyo then fouls the centre-back and the hosts want him to get sent off for a second yellow card, but their ambitious claims are ignored.
Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
CHANCE! Bournemouth should have doubled their lead. Semenyo is in plenty of space on the right side of the box. He has Solanke and Tavernier to his left but takes a heavy touch inside and loses possession.
Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
Billing likes to shoot from range, but that's certainly one to forget. He is not put under any pressure by the Forest defence and takes aim from a distance, but lifts his effort well, well over.
Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth are on their way to five wins in six matches. Solanke has been simply sublime this season, with his brace against Forest pushing him up to 10 Premier League goals.
Nottingham Forest vs AFC Bournemouth
BLOCK! What a chance for Bournemouth to take the lead for the first time! Christie chips the ball over to the left side of the box, with Williams sliding across to get there before Tavernier. He then gets up and blocks Semenyo's goal-bound effort.
