"Ange Postecoglou's wait for a first win in charge of Nottingham Forest continued following a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland at the City Ground, with Omar Alderete scoring the only goal. Following four winless road trips in the Premier League, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League to start his reign, Postecoglou's first home game at the helm also ended in frustration."
"Forest were unhappy with the manner of that goal, with the free-kick being awarded after Nicolas Dominguez was perhaps harshly booked for simulation, following a 50-50 challenge involving Trai Hume. But they failed to channel their frustration into any sustained pressure until the final 20 minutes, and when they did, they could not beat Robin Roefs in the Sunderland goal. Roefs denied two Forest substitutes in quick succession, repelling Omari Hutchinson's strike then clawing Igor Jesus' header to safety."
Nottingham Forest suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Sunderland as Omar Alderete scored the decisive header from a Granit Xhaka free-kick. The free-kick followed a Nicolas Dominguez booking for simulation after a 50-50 challenge involving Trai Hume, a decision that left Forest frustrated. Forest offered little sustained pressure until the final 20 minutes, when Robin Roefs produced key saves to deny Omari Hutchinson and Igor Jesus. Chris Wood missed a clear chance in the 81st minute and Sunderland nearly added a second through Lutsharel Geertruida. Forest sit 16th with five points; Sunderland are third with 11 points.
