Nottingham Forest boosted their survival hopes with a late 2-1 comeback win over West Ham United at a sparsely populated London Stadium. West Ham led through a Tomas Soucek goal but were undone by poor defending and costly errors. A disallowed strike from Crysencio Summerville briefly raised home optimism before Forest responded immediately, with Nicolás Domínguez heading in an equaliser from a corner. West Ham’s problems deepened late on when goalkeeper Alphonse Areola clumsily fouled Morgan Gibbs-White, who converted the resulting penalty in the 89th minute. The defeat leaves West Ham seven points adrift of Forest in 17th and winless in 10 matches under Nuno Espírito Santo. Despite showing more fight, West Ham again lacked organisation and belief, prompting frustration among players and fans. Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, ended a four-game losing run despite an uneven performance, while West Ham’s relegation fears continue to intensify.
