'This is a ground that can help you WIN games': Jubilant Steve Cooper believes the City Ground's atmosphere can help Nottingham Forest avoid relegation... with fans roaring them to first top-flight win in 23 YEARS

Steve Cooper believes Nottingham Forest's historic home stadium can help keep them in the Premier League after the City Ground roared them to a first top-flight win this century.

In the first Premier League fixture here for 23 years, Taiwo Awoniyi put Forest ahead in first-half stoppage time, soon after Said Benrahma had seen a goal ruled out for West Ham.

Then after the break Declan Rice missed a penalty for the visitors and Pablo Fornals and Benrahma hit the underside of the bar – to the delight of the 29,281 crowd.
