window, just swallowed Johnson and McKenna over three plays.
He worked for his last season to the promotion. Expect Far
East to play out from the back, the back, three,
working the ball across lines, trying to get into Midfield
into likes of Jesse, lingard who was on loan at West Ham in
2021. The likes of our knee and Johnson. I've got a bit patient
in movement, so we just dropped to the bench and when he
is come in and expect him to make a little a few more runs
in behind the West come back line. We know all about West
Saint from their trousers.
Tribulations last season, both in the Premier League and in
Europe, expect anything different from them today.
Well, I expect a better level of performance. They played
the, the reigning champions last week in got dismantled
the plane. Now, for multi-team expect them to have more
control over the football rice into checking expecting to have
some control
and Antonio and bowling particularly good at setting
the triggers and going to pressure the ball. And if
Nottingham Forest want to play out the back I think David
Moyes West Ham who believe they can make the ball in
transition,
create one or two goals going opportunities.
This is the first top-flight beating of these 12s
since 1999
last time they met in the top, tier that, however, to manager,
Frank Lampard was would have westerns goalscorers.
His side. One bike circles to one of the old Boleyn ground
first test for the forest offense.
It is Chris. Well,
the roof of the net. There's a good hit.
It's a very good head and he's looking at the sky Cresswell.
As if to say, oh, I was fractions away, then I just
didn't get the dip when I needed it most,
but otherwise, that was very well, executed
attack from Nottingham
flooded at this time by Williams,
Laurel
to mangala it's a good delivery
was nearly an own goal
by things from going Jared, Bowen is obviously got back and
stayed back
and because they couldn't clear it and knew something was
coming back in and yeah, he does get
his head to
Zuma stands firm this time. But another mistake from what is
It's just nickel Williams.
Great delivery, occasion and a one-year. He's getting closer
and closer Nottingham Forest banging on the door for
the opening quarter.
Yeah, I mean, this is speculative from Mika Williams
but once he does deliver, it is very, very good because it's
giving the center forward every chance of getting something on.
It
sounds appealing Antonio and handled it.
This is been robbed.
Nearly nearly ricocheted in.
Well, it was Thomas. So check arriving. I'm not sure how much
he knew about it. He almost deflected it in for the opening
goal.
Yeah, I'm in a keeper. I think does very, very well to start
with Henderson to get a good strong hand on it.
Johnson's clearance isn't good.
Lingard
is tantalizing again
and of a one-unit keeps getting in these positions, surely. And
some stage one of these cancers is going to fall for him.
I love this technique
and Rama
Rao Creswell. Patient Bill do
better and went for it. Tonio reacted and it nearly fell for
pulling better from where Sam.
That was
but if you watch McKenna is the ball Finds Its way to the far.
Post Antonio just holds him off.
They're having a little tussle Antonia just sticks, the armor
and safe to say you're not getting near this and he
couldn't, he just kept them at Bay.
Once the deflection ran into his path. He's actually trying
to find the far corner and I'll pick out a teammate and that
would have been Jarred own
just over four minutes. Its normal time to go to the break.
This would be a wonderful
time to score. Or
Brandon Johnson,
nikol
Johnson is actually trying to find the far Corner. He's
trying to score but credit to Williams because he took
a chance
you just he gambled
and he got away from this man, too easy. That shouldn't have
been happening.
Well done, Fabian ski because his big chest got there in
the end.
Very brave for the Polish. Goalkeeper
is McKenna
Away by four Nails. Accurately. Good first. Touch for been
drama.
Are the nutmeg. I do Brian. He's got rice to his right.
Just had to check his wrong, jack arise, which kick some of
the momentum and Rama
Switched Off. And they'll be punished,
you've got to play the whistle.
Nottingham Forest thought they were going to get a free kick
here.
The home side stopped
but there was no whistle from referee, Robert Jones
and Tony will say that the defender was just in his
natural path. And he ran into him
forest for lawfully, obviously, feel that he was
shuffling the defender out of the way,
the checking for a possible foul.
We might see even more from Nottingham Forest.
Top floor.
Celebration
23 years
in the waiting.
Nottingham Forest celebrate a Premier League goal
for the first time this millennium
A new hero
the city ground
there's an element of Good Fortune about this because
once this work by Nottingham Forest to find its way to Jesse
lingard it's a missive from him and then it seems to come off
Johnson
and just kind of run into the path of
a warning.
Yeah there's a little little touch from from Johnson and I'm
not sure one in who knows a lot about
It but he won't care. And I think for his work ride alone
and for the problems he's caused
West Ham, he probably deserves that element of Good. Fortune
to come off his knee
on a day. Like today, there are no points for artistic Merit,
the ball in the back of the net. And it doesn't matter how
it got there.
Just for dowels, that's a very important block by Niko
Williams Because been Rama who is here, would have had a clean
in on goal, this time, he's got Worrell to beat
West Ham, hoping to come straight out of the box of
the start of the second half. So check
Cross first still wobbling.
Well, referee didn't Flinch his watch, which is the goal line.
Technology did not vibrate.
That suggests the ball here. Did not cross the line, almost
the perfect start to the second half for West Ham. Well, it
wasn't once it came back to. So, check again, I'm thinking
we'll find the corner
and he didn't quite, but I must admit Henderson's reaction
from. So Tex header is excellent because he's up quickly.
It was an 89th minute winner that day.
And Johnson
will just a little lazy and then trying to deal with this.
And it's just a case of was Johnson on site
or has he just lent into
an offside position?
Brandon Johnson, I got 19 goals last season but this one
will not count offside.
It remains
No, for now.
One mill remains a slender advantage.
Could the accounts a could say Fabian ski
looking for a home debut. Go.
Yeah, well, I mean, he just out leaps everybody here,
particularly so check and that normally doesn't happen.
Crash. Well, leaves it for been robbed,
the referee looked at the watch but again, no vibration.
Brenda Johnson,
nickel Williams loses out to, for dolls, William stays down.
This is Ben Rama
around Joe Worrell
such a big
Forest her Clinging On of the back.
Makenna Makenna was the one who got in the way of
quite.
So check could buy now have a hat trick.
It's becoming a tantalizing battle
Wester beginning to throw the kitchen sink into their
Endeavors. It hits the arm, but is it in a natural position?
And then as he tries to get himself in position, does he
know that it's extended? I think it's a sneaky arm, you
know.
Penalty
a chance for rest
to get back in. Referee has got the yellow card out already.
Scott McKenna books
for the handle
last time, besides men in a league game,
West have scored two penalties,
Declan rice steps up,
its not even Forest day,
this is becoming fairytale stuff
no matter what.
They cannot score.
This is probably his best of the day. These Reddit,
he's done his homework and he's gotten there, but I must say
Declan rice, didn't have it anywhere near the corner and
he's giving Henderson a chance.
Players used up
a lot of their Nine Lives. Already. Nottingham Forest.
This is Williams. Free kick.
Oh, it fell for Nia County and he just couldn't get his feet
to the right decision. He wasn't expecting it to make
the journey
and it ended up hitting the okati because he still running
here, and he doesn't get a proper chance to swing his leg
at it.
This is where the tension begins to creep in. Now,
what has been such an enjoyable day for not
For his fans, he will feel a bit more fraught
down by supers cleared up the line
Sensational defending
from Nico Williams
then I think he's had a wonderful afternoon as well
and he realized as soon as the ball
went over his head,
the first thing was
get gold side, get near the line and
what an important decision.
Last chance for Lester.
