Impact Williams found his first Premier League goal and it came against the club who he progressed through the academy with. The full-back made his fifth consecutive start and on his first shot on goal found the back of the net. Williams has struggled for form and consistent starting minute at right-back.

Takes shot in win Williams took a shot and won three of three tackles in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Leeds United. He also made three clearances and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Williams returned to the starting lineup Sunday for the first time in the Premier League since Nov. 5, and he played well on both sides of the ball as his side earned an important win over Leeds. Williams has mostly backed up Serge Aurier at right-back this season, but he proved that he can perform when called upon.

Back in training Williams participated in Thursday's training session, his club have announced.

Impact Williams looks to be back after suffering a concussion during the final match of the group stage for Wales at the World Cup. He gets one friendly to play Friday against Valencia before competitive matches return, and with 12 starts in 15 appearances he should be a safe bet to play regularly.

Comes off with concussion Williams was brought off in the first half of Tuesday's clash with England due to a concussion.

Impact Williams was unable to continue during Tuesday's match due to a concussion. Connor Roberts came on to replace him at right-back. Williams should have plenty of time to return from the concussion before a Dec. 27 clash with Manchester United in the Premier League.

Decent versus Iran Williams won two of four tackles and had three shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate), and one chance created in Friday's 0-2 loss against Iran.

Impact William had a dynamic showing on the flank and picked up stats in both ends, although he lacked precision in the final third. He has logged three off-target shots, one chance, five inaccurate crosses, and five tackles in two Wolrd Cup games.

Lively in relief appearance Williams managed one shot (one on target), delivered three corners, sent in five crosses (one accurate) and added one interception during Sunday's 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Williams came off the bench in this one after having started his previous three matches. Any sort of result was completely out of reach by the time he subbed on, but he did well to create some volume in the waning minutes. He should be back in the starting XI versus Brentford.

How Neco Williams has benefited from Cooper's change in approach Forest fans will retain a sense of nostalgia over Djed Spence and his rampaging runs but Neco Williams could play a key role for the club

Five interceptions in draw Williams had two crosses (zero accurate) and zero chances created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Impact Williams made five interceptions and two tackles as he was tasked with shutting down the Brighton attack and given few chances to get forward. The full-back has been a consistent option going forward for the most part, but a switch to left-back cut down almost all of his offensive chances Tuesday as he struggled to get the ball on his favored right foot. If Williams remains at left-back it's worth knocking down his offensive volume across the board moving forward.

Plays one half in defeat Williams made two tackles (two won), logged two clearances and added four interceptions in Monday's 4-0 defeat versus Leicester City.

Impact Williams subbed off at half time for what were presumably tactical reasons. He was replaced in the back by Serge Aurier, who was marginally better defensively throughout the second half. Prior to coming off, Williams paced his squad in tackles and interceptions, and he also received a yellow card in the 18th minute.

Big-spending Forest making its mark on return to EPL

Nottingham Forest sure is making its mark after returning to the Premier League following an absence of 23 years

AUGUST 25, 2022 • Associated Press

Fills stat sheet again Williams had three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate), and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw to Everton.

Impact Williams created two chances on seven crosses as he maintained his role on set-pieces. The young right wing-back has been electric for Nottingham Forest and has even been firing shots on goal. If some of those can start flying in Williams could have some of the top upside at the position in the Premier League. Through three matches Williams has played 270 minutes and created five chances on 18 crosses.

Excellent for upset Williams had four shots (two on goal), nine crosses (three accurate), and six corners in Sunday's 1-0 win against West Ham United.

Impact Williams filled the stat sheet throughout Sunday's win, piling on shots, chances and defensive stats in an all-around brilliant performance. This is exactly what Nottingham Forest were looking for when they signed Williams, and this type of volume could make him a top contributor. Williams has only a single Premier League assist in his career, with Liverpool in the 2021/22 campaign.

Signs at Forest Williams has signed a four-year deal with Nottingham Forest from Liverpool.

Impact Williams started 14 matches in the second half of last season at Fulham, including late in the season when they played Forest. He figures to take the job on the right flank where Djed Spence was the regular last season. It's a position that should produce plenty of opportunities in the attack in addition to the usual defensive stats for Williams.
