Nottingham Forest inflicted further misery on West Ham United with a late 2-1 comeback win at the London Stadium. West Ham took the lead through a Tomas Soucek effort but failed to build control, while a disallowed goal early in the second half proved a turning point. Forest responded immediately as Nicolás Domínguez headed in from a corner, exposing West Ham’s ongoing fragility at set pieces. With the home side chasing a winner, a clumsy challenge by Alphonse Areola on Morgan Gibbs-White led to a VAR review and a decisive penalty in the 89th minute. Gibbs-White converted calmly to seal victory and lift Forest seven points clear of West Ham in the table. The defeat extended West Ham’s winless run to 10 matches, increasing pressure on manager Nuno Espírito Santo, while Forest manager Sean Dyche praised his side’s resilience despite a below-par performance.
