BACK TO BACK PREMIER LEAGUE WINS!
90'+4'

SCRAMBLE IN THE ALBION BOX

Well that was carnage. The ball comes into the Albion box, Jan Paul van Hecke and Lewis Dunk block shots before Joel Veltman chests it back to Verbruggen. The stadium erupts with support for the home team. Two minutes from back to back wins.

A wonderful reception for Solly March, as he replaces Diego Gomez. James Milner also goes off to an ovation, as Carlos Baleba comes on in his place.

Yellow Card

Kaoru Mitoma goes into the book for a perfectly good challenge. From the resulting free-kick, Awoniyi heads wide from Anderson's cross.
81'

LOVELY GROSS CROSS NOT MET

Pascal Gross sends in a powerful low ball from the right which is begging to be tapped in, but Hinshelwood and Welbeck can't get there! Kadioglu then curls over from Gomez's pass.
72'

GIBBS-WHITE'S HEADER EASY FOR VERBRUGGEN

Gibbs-White gets a good connection on a cross from the left, but it's straight at Verbruggen who gathers without any problem.

Substitution

Joel Veltman replaces Mats Wieffer.
60'

GOMEZ AND VAN HECKE TO THE RESCUE

Gibbs-White has space down the right and utilises it before crossing in. He finds Igor Jesus who has a shot blocked by Diego Gomez, before Sangare's first time effort from 18 yards hits the legs of van Hecke and flies straight into the hands of Verbruggen.
55'

Yellow Card

Mats Wieffer hacks down Hutchinson from behind to stop Forest having a counter-attack.

SELS TIPS AWAY GROSS'S STRIKE

Danny Welbeck is fouled just outside the corner of the box in front of the West Stand. Gross plays a one-two with the striker from the resulting free-kick and has his low drive palmed away by Sels!
48'

WELBECK DENIED

Gross finds Welbeck on the edge and his first time effort looks goalbound, but it's blocked and goes behind for a corner! Kaoru Mitoma then drags a shot a couple of inches wide of the bottom left corner.

VAN HECKE SLIDES IN TO DENY HUDSON-ODOI

Hudson-Odoi gets the better of Wieffer on the Albion right and the Forest wingers cuts in. He thunders a strike at goal from the angle, but van Hecke throws himself in the way, which sends the ball over for a corner.
37'

HINSHELWOOD HEADER TIPPED AWAY

Jan Paul van Hecke's cross is met by the diving head of Jack Hinshelwood, but Sels is equal to it and tips it behind for a corner!

Yellow Card

Anderson goes into the book for diving on the edge of the Albion box.
25'

WIEFFER SHOULD DO BETTER

Wieffer has possession in midfield and he's gifted a lot of space to run into, so he bombs forward. Forest keep backing off and the crowd implore him to shoot, he does, but it's a pea roller into the arms of Sels. Think he tried to pass it into the corner then, but got it wrong. Welbeck then has a pop from 30 yards which flies just wide of the bottom left corner.
18'

HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR MITOMA!

That would have been a fabulous goal. Mitoma plays a one-two with Welbeck, with the former getting on the end of the pass, but he can't get the ball under his spell and by the time he gets his shot away, Sels is out to smother it.

Welbeck
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE!!! That's how you silence an away end. Mitoma's cross is nodded down by Hinshelwood, Welbeck takes a touch, swivels and fires past Sels! 2-1 to the Albion! What a contest this has been so far.

Goal

Morgan Gibbs-White fires in from range. Looks as if it took a deflection off Ferdi Kadioglu on the way through.

WELBECK GOES CLOSE TO A SECOND

Gomez fires a lovely diagonal pass from right to left for Kadoioglu to run on to. The Turkey international finds Gross who chips in a cross, Welbeck rises to meet it but the defender manages to head it back to his keeper.

Gómez
YYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!! The perfect start for Albion!!! Williams gets his clearance all wrong and Gomez is in down the right. His pass to Welbeck is cut out, but he's found by Hinshelwood and the Paraguayan half volleys it from the right of the box into the bottom left corner! Excellent effort!

MITOMA'S CURLER EASY FOR SELS

Jack Hinshelwood tees up Kaoru Mitoma to have a shot from the right of the box, but the Japan international's curling effort flies comfortably into the hands of Forest keeper Matz Sels.

DUNKY PLAYING THROUGH THE PAIN

Lewis Dunk has been playing with a knee problem according to Fabian Hurzeler, but the skipper continues to be one of our best performers. "We must mention Lewis Dunk. He proves that a long, successful career is not merely about natural talent. It is about sacrifice. It is about your willingness to suffer. Lewis is playing through genuine pain. He has an ongoing knee issue, and we all know he is suffering. "Yet he is performing at an elite standard and is currently playing at his absolute highest level of the season, and he seems to be improving week by week."

VITOR PEREIRA ON ALBION

“It’s a big game, a very important game for us. We need to recover mentally and physically because we need to be at our best level to face them away from home. “The problem is that we don’t have time to work [in training]; we just recover the players. With videos, we try to put them on the right tactical page to face a team that likes to play with the ball and create chances."
