Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper unintentionally piled more pressure on David de Gea as he praised Dean Henderson for his vital display against West Ham.
The on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper played a huge hand in Forest picking up a first win on their return to the Premier League. Henderson saved a penalty as the newly-promoted side beat the Hammers 1-0 in their first home game of the season.
Having seen Taiwo Awoniyi give them the lead in the first half, the 25-year-old was called into action when Scott McKenna handled Tomas Soucek’s shot, giving Declan Rice the chance to bring the visitors level from the spot. Henderson though produced the save low down to his right to keep Forest’s lead intact, with the hosts going on to claim their first three points of the season.
