Nottingham Forest boosted their survival hopes with a late comeback win against West Ham United at the London Stadium. West Ham took the lead through a Tomas Soucek goal, but momentum shifted after a second-half effort by Crysencio Summerville was disallowed. Forest responded immediately as Nicolás Domínguez headed in an equaliser from a corner. West Ham’s defensive frailties resurfaced late on when Alphonse Areola clumsily fouled Morgan Gibbs-White, allowing him to score the winning penalty in the 89th minute. The defeat leaves West Ham seven points behind Forest in 17th place and winless in ten matches under Nuno Espírito Santo. Frustration is growing among supporters and players, while Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, eased pressure after four straight losses despite an uneven performance.
