Nottingham Forest vs West Ham: Henderson shines in goalkeeper battle

Dean Henderson triumphed over Lukasz Fabianski in a matchup of goalkeepers playing so well that it took a goofy bounce to define Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday.

And so Forest’s first Premier League home game in 23 years becomes its first PL win in that time, Taiwo Awoniyi’s fortunate goal the difference on a day Henderson stopped a Declan Rice penalty and Fabianski made five saves for the visitors.

West Ham had a goal taken off the board by VAR review while a Forest goal mouth clearance became a handball on Scott McKenna as the cameras had their Sunday say.
