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.

Aina is forced to slam a Brownhill cross behind for a corner after a promising spell on the ball for the Clarets. The Burnley captain delivers the set-piece but Turner claims with consummate ease.

Gibbs-White bursts down the right-hand side after spinning in midfield, cutting onto his left foot inside the area. The Forest playmaker selflessly looks to play across for Hudson-Odoi, but Burnley recover to clear the danger. The England youth international should perhaps have pulled the trigger instead there.

Forest have won their last four Premier League home games, scoring a different number of goals each time (3-1 v Brighton and Hove Albion, 4-3 v Southampton, 1-0 v Arsenal, 2-1 v Sheffield United). They last won more consecutively as a top-flight club between April and August 1991 (seven).

Hudson-Odoi appears to win the ball in a fiercely contested challenge with Roberts, yet referee Jones awards the visitors a free-kick. Whistles intensify at the City Ground as Trafford takes his time over another pause in play.

SAVE! Burnley are once again the architects of their own downfall as Beyer races out of defence to be dispossessed by Awoniyi. The Forest striker offloads to his left for Hudson-Odoi, whose right-footed curling effort is parried away by a two-handed Trafford stop.

Kompany cuts a visibly frustrated figure on the touchline as his side continue to cause all of their own problems with lapses in concentration in possession. The Clarets enjoyed playing a possession-based game in the Championship, but the Premier League is proving an entirely different challenge for their tactics.

CHANCE! Elanga glides inside before spraying to the opposite flank for Hudson-Odoi, who cuts back towards the penalty spot. Awoniyi takes a first-time effort that Al Dakhil blocks at the perfect time to protect Trafford's goal. Forest are knocking on the door in the early exchanges.

Kompany's side are yet to settle as Cooper's hosts press with rampant energy. Gibbs-White, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi and Awoniyi are hardly offering any breathing room for Burnley.

Trafford needlessly takes an age over a deep free-kick inside his own half, and referee Jones decides enough is enough. The Clarets goalkeeper is shown a yellow card without any prior warning – just 11 minutes into the game!
