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.

HOW HAVE THEY NOT SCORED? Another rapid counter-attack from Forest forces Taylor to turn behind for a corner after Aina's long pass towards the area. Gibbs-White swings the set-piece into the far post, where McKenna, Sangare and Awoniyi all somehow miss the ball from point-blank range with Trafford stranded on his line.

The hosts can't cope with Koleosho at the minute as Sangare fells the teenage winger on the left flank. Brownhill overhits his set-piece cross straight into the hands of the assured Turner.

Gudmundsson's free-kick delivery is poor and Forest clear with ease at the near post before Koleosho's attempt to cross back in deflects out for a goal-kick.

Cullen zips an inviting low cross across the face of goal but Gudmundsson isn't there to convert at the back post. Burnley are rapidly growing in confidence as Kompany encourages his team up the pitch.

Mangala makes a cynical foul in midfield by dragging down Cullen. The Forest midfielder is not cautioned for the foul, but instead for blocking Brownhill from taking a quick free-kick.

England cricketing legends Stuart Broad and James Anderson are in attendance at the City Ground supporting their respective sides. This game has resembled the attrional nature of Test cricket thus far, such has been the nature of the tense clash.

GOOD STOP! Koleosho is causing a few problems for Montiel as the Burnley winger dances inside and plays towards the middle. Amdouni is the recipient before drilling a low right-footed piledriver towards the bottom-left corner. An unsighted Turner does excellently to react late and parry around the post.

Kompany's visitors appear short of ideas when it comes to possession, with centre-back pairing Al Dakhil and Beyer, as well as goalkeeper Trafford seeing most of the ball. Burnley must be more incisive to have any opportunity to test Turner as the first half goes on.

Mangala overlaps Hudson-Odoi and reaches the byline before drilling a tempting cross across the face of goal. Awoniyi and Gibbs-White both poke at the chance but Al Dakhil eventually manages to intervene inside his own six-yard area.
