    Taiwo Awoniyi is very decent isn't he? He controls a long ball forward and manages to win a free-kick still.

    Sheffield United don't clear a corner and a header lands on the roof of the net.

    Serge Aurier thinks he's peak David Beckham here with his crossing. He swings a beauty in for Taiwo Awoniyi again but Anel Ahmedhodzic deflects it wide before Awoniyi bags.

    I think they're waiting for Liverpool to make a bid first.

    A give and go between Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi. Awoniyi wants it back but Gibbs-White goes alone and his low effort from the edge of the box is saved.

    United's Ben Osborn can't keep a long ball in play. He generously gives a thumb up to his colleague.

    Taiwo Awoniyi's run of scoring in six consecutive Premier League appearances is now the longest of any Nigerian player, and is surpassed by only two African players - Mohamed Salah and Emmanuel Adebayor (seven each).

    We'd all have looked foolish if we'd written teams off last season based on the opening few games...

    Vini Souza concedes a free-kick in crossing range. Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White lifts it in but Wes Foderingham swipes it out of the East Midlands sky.

    Taiwo Awoniyi has Nottingham Forest's last six Premier League goals - one in each of their last six games.

    In the last 15 years, only two players have scored six of their club's goals in a row - Christian Benteke for Aston Villa from March to April 2015 and Erling Haaland for Manchester City in August 2022.

    A Nottingham Forest fan has the ball under their jersey but eventualy throws it back onto the pitch.

    That goal was clocked at two minutes and 23 seconds, the quickest of the season so far. Admittedly the season is only a week old.
