Premier League: Nottingham Forest vs. Sheffield (2-1)

Chris Wood headed an 89th-minute winner as Nottingham Forest picked up their first Premier League victory of the season by beating Sheffield United.

Wood, who had come on as a substitute, flicked a header past United keeper Wes Foderingham to send the City Ground crowd wild.

Gustavo Hamer scored a stunner on his Sheffield United debut to give the newly promoted side hope early in the second half.

Hamer, who signed from Coventry City last Friday, struck into the top corner from the edge of the box for his first goal for his new club.

United were significantly improved after going 1-0 down early on and equalised just two minutes and eight seconds after the restart.

Taiwo Awoniyi had opened the scoring for Forest with two minutes and 23 seconds on the clock.

Nottingham Forest will look to open their home slate in a positive fashion when they take on newly elevated Sheffield United in a key early-season English Premier League match on Friday. Nottingham Forest (0-1) lost their season opener 2-1 to Arsenal, despite having a chance to earn a draw late. Sheffield United (0-1) fell 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace in their first EPL match in three years. The Blades started slow and never could recover as they controlled just 32% of possession.

Forest would hope for another impressive campaign at home after defeating the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool and holding teams likes of Manchester City and Chelsea to stalemates at the City Ground last term.

Whereas Sheffield United gained automatic promotion from the Championship last season, but manager Paul Heckingbottom has lost key players in Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

The American positioned himself well to narrow the angle and stop United going in front in what proved to be a vital moment. Traore went off injured with less than 10 minutes remaining but was a bright spark throughout for the Blades.

Despite conceding late on, United's second-half performance was much improved and gives them something to build on when they host defending champions Manchester City next weekend.
