The home side responded swiftly, equalizing in the 16th minute. Charlie Taylor’s cross was intercepted by Taiwo Awoniyi, who quickly passed it to Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Burnley thought they had regained the lead in the 76th minute when Sander Berg found the net after a move involving Scott McKenna. However, VAR intervened once again, ruling out the goal due to a handball.
In injury time, tempers flared as Lyle Foster elbowed Nottingham Forest substitute Ryan Yates in the chest. The referee promptly reviewed the incident on VAR and issued a direct red card, sending Foster off the field.
