7 mins - Stretcher for Steven Thompson, who is hurt after Wes Morgan's momentum takes him into the Clarets striker. Nothing sinister, but the end of Thompson's afternoon. Jay Rodriguez is stripped and introduced.

19 mins - Luke Chambers fouls Robbie Blake, and he curls the free kick from right on the left touchline inside the top right corner.

Burnley 1, Nottingham Forest 0

There has been little of note in a scrappy game so far, with Forest offering nothing going forward and conceding too many fouls, while the Clarets have looked to create, only to have the one sight of goal - Blake's free kick.

38 mins - Wade Elliott drives at the Forest back four and Chris McCann turns the ball on to Blake, who leaves Chambers on his backside before firing the ball across for Elliott to make it 2-0.
