GLOVERS UP AND RUNNING AFTER FELLING FOREST

Yeovil Town recorded their first home win as a Championship club in style as they defeated Nottingham Forest at Huish Park thanks to virtuoso displays from Ed Upson and Wayne Hennessey.

Midfielder Upson-who also got the winner when the Glovers beat Millwall on the opening day of the campaign- bagged a first half brace and Hennessey denied Forest's Republic of Ireland striker Simon Cox from the penalty spot and then saved the rebound.

On loan midfielder Nathan Chalobah pulled one back for Forest, but they were unable to find a second as a goalkeeping masterclass from Hennessey before Byron Webster added a second to ensure Gary Johnson's men sealed all three points.

The result boosts the Glovers' survival hopes and moves them onto nine points and up 22nd place. They are also one point behind 21st placed Bolton Wanderers.
