Nottingham Forest boosted their survival hopes with a dramatic late victory over a struggling West Ham United at the London Stadium. West Ham led early in the second half but had a goal disallowed before Forest quickly responded, Nicolás Domínguez heading in an equaliser. The decisive moment came in the 89th minute when a clumsy challenge by Alphonse Areola resulted in a penalty, calmly converted by Morgan Gibbs-White. The defeat leaves West Ham seven points behind Forest in 17th place and winless in 10 matches under Nuno Espírito Santo. Despite flashes of improvement and debut appearances from new signings, defensive errors and poor organisation again proved costly. Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, ended a four-game losing run without playing well, while West Ham’s relegation fears and supporter unrest continue to intensify.
