    Sheffield Utd may well be at risk of beating the record for the lowest points total ever.

    Sheffield United's best moment of the game. Forest half clear a cross for Vini Souza, who takes a touch and curls a shot in from 25 yards. Saved by Matt Turner.

    Morgan Gibbs-White swings this one out - it's from the right as opposed to all the previous corners on the left - and Willy Boly heads over.

    Brennan Johnson wriggles onto his left foot on the edge of the box and has a shot deflected behind by Max Lowe. Corner.

    The text at 20:11 BST was met by the delude of 'it's not Notts Forest' replies I expected.

    It's not Notts Forest to be fair.

    Sheffield United don't clear a free-kick and Willy Boly lofts in a cross, which is caught by Wes Foderingham.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Sheffield United

    Forest have now scored against all but one opponent they have faced in the Premier League - Charlton.

    Sorry to Addicks fans but it might take a long time before Forest have the chance to remedy that.

    Could be a very long and tough season ahead for the Blades if they continue to defend as badly as they did for that goal!

    Neither of those were penalties, having seen the replays.

    Morgan Gibbs-White finds Serge Aurier, who pings in a cross. It's behind goal king Taiwo Awoniyi and Neco Williams goes down. Another appeal. Another non-penalty.

  13. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 18 August 2023

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Sheffield United

    Taiwo Awoniyi charges into the box and goes down. Penalty? He think so and so do the Forest fans but the officials and VAR team do not.

    I thought that Forest would stay up last season. Sheffield United I have tipped to go down this season. But is this a statement now that Forest are here to stay for a while?

    Forest have some good counter-attacking players, although this time Brennan Johnson can't find Taiwo Awoniyi with a through ball.

    The Blades are proving that you cannot come up, sell your best players and not invest. And expect to do well!

    Bit of a scramble in the Forest box but then the offside flag goes up so it's not worth even telling you what happened. A scramble, wouldn't have counted - that's all you need.

    Taiwo Awoniyi's goal was Forest's 100th top-flight goal against Sheffield United and the first since Stuart Pearce scored a penalty goal in a 5-2 home defeat on 1 February 1992.

    Morgan Gibbs-White swings a lovely corner in and Wes Foderingham punches away. I wonder if that was going in.
