Forest substitute Wood snatches late 2-1 win over Sheffield Utd

The Hindu  

Nottingham Forest substitute Chris Wood headed a late winner after teammate Taiwo Awoniyi’s sixth goal in consecutive games to grab a 2-1 home win over promoted Sheffield United and its side’s first points of the Premier League season on Friday. “It’s important to get the first win of the season.” ‘DESERVED MORE’ The result left United without a point from their first two games back in the top flight. Wood’s goal was his 56th in the Premier League, the joint third-highest tally for players from Oceania, level with Tim Cahill but behind Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka. It was Forest’s fourth consecutive home win in the Premier League, including three games last season, giving Cooper’s players belief that they can use their form at the City Ground for another successful push to stay up.
