Burnley 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Burnley 1-1 Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday, 20 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, what a rollercoaster at Turf Moor, eh? Burnley and Nottingham Forest battled it out to a 1-1 draw, and it was as tight as a drum. The Clarets, coming off a couple of losses, managed to stop the rot but couldn't quite clinch the win. Jaidon Anthony was the hero for Burnley, bagging the equaliser early on, which was crucial after Neco Williams put Forest ahead in the second minute. Forest, on the other hand, had been struggling with three games without a win, so this point might feel like a small victory for them. Both teams showed grit, but it's clear they're still finding their feet this season.

Looking at the stats, it's no surprise the game ended in a draw. Forest dominated possession with 63% to Burnley's 37%, but the Clarets were more effective with their dribbles, hitting a 65% success rate compared to Forest's 40%. Despite the possession disparity, Burnley managed to keep the game close, with only one corner separating the teams. The yellow cards were evenly split, showing both sides were up for the fight. All in all, the stats reflect a hard-fought match where neither team could pull away.

The game kicked off with a bang when Neco Williams scored for Forest just two minutes in, setting the tone for a tense match. Burnley didn't take long to respond, with Jaidon Anthony leveling the score in the 20th minute, a crucial moment that kept them in the game. The second half saw a flurry of substitutions from Forest, trying to change the momentum, but it was Burnley who made the more impactful changes late on with Hannibal Mejbri and Zian Flemming coming on. The game ended with a late yellow card for Felipe Rodrigues, but by then, both teams had settled for a point.

Burnley lined up in a 5-4-1, and it was Jaidon Anthony who stole the show with his equalising goal. The lineup was pretty standard, but the late substitutions of Hannibal Mejbri and Zian Flemming showed a bit of tactical nous from the bench. Florentino picked up an early yellow, but it didn't seem to affect his performance too much. Overall, the team showed resilience, especially after going behind so early, and Anthony's goal was the highlight of their efforts.

Forest went with a 4-2-3-1, and it was Neco Williams who got them off to a flying start with his early goal. The lineup was solid, but the real action came from the bench with four substitutions made in the second half. Callum Hudson-Odoi, Igor Jesus Maciel da Cruz, Ibrahim Sangaré, and Arnaud Kalimuendo Muinga all came on, showing a willingness to mix things up. Despite the changes, they couldn't find a winner, but Williams' early strike was a testament to their attacking intent.

Jaidon Anthony is our Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and rightly so. His goal in the 20th minute was the difference between a loss and a draw for Burnley, showing his importance to the team. With one goal and a key pass, Anthony was the standout performer on the pitch, proving his worth when it mattered most.
