Chris Wood was the hero as his late header secured Nottingham Forest's first points of the Premier League season. The substitute headed the winner in the 89th minute after Gustavo Hamer's debut goal cancelled out Taiwo Awoniyi's early header. Despite a spirited effort at the City Ground, Sheffield United remain pointless after their opening two games.
