Former Liverpool full-back Neco Williams produced an outstanding display this afternoon to help Nottingham Forest beat West Ham United 1-0.
The Welshman signed for Steve Cooper’s side for £17million in July, leaving Anfield permanently in a bid to pick up regular minutes, and he made his home debut for the first Premier League game at the City Ground for 23 years.
A scrappy first-half goal from another former Red, Taiwo Awoniyi, decided a thrilling Super Sunday clash in which David Moyes’ Hammers had a goal disallowed, hit the woodwork three times, had a penalty saved and shots cleared off the line. And despite Nigerian striker Awoniyi’s goal, it was Williams who caught the eye of both Liverpool and Forest fans.
