Championship: West Bromwich Albion 0 - 0 Nottingham Forest

-

West Bromwich Albion had to settle for a point as they were held to a goalless draw by Steve Cooper's improving Nottingham Forest.

After Jayson Molumby was sent off for two bookable offences in the 70th minute, the home side did well to see out the game as Forest chased a winner against 10 men.

Forest, who have now lost just once in 13 games, had to be the more content of the two teams after a fifth draw in six.

Albion had a chance to win it in stoppage time when substitute Jordan Hugill blazed over. They were then booed off by some of their fans after another goalless draw.

Let's have a look at some of the best reaction

West Bromwich Albion boss Valerien Ismael spoke with local media after the match: 

"Until the red card we were more on the front game-changerat was a game changer. Then it was about staying in the game and we did that. We are very strong defensively. But we had four big chances to score. We are struggling for goals and we need to work on it."

One West Brom fan added: "It was a poor performance. Automatic promotion is already looking a big ask and that has to be a huge concern for everyone at the club."

Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper told the Nottingham Post:

“It was an average game. I thought we were average for large parts of the game, particularly in the first half. I didn’t really like our performance. I didn’t think we played with enough intensity. I didn’t think we made enough passes. We maybe lacked a bit of belief."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
