Nottingham Forest boosted their survival hopes with a late 2-1 comeback win over West Ham United at a subdued London Stadium. West Ham led early through Tomáš Souček but were undone by defensive errors and another collapse in confidence. A disallowed goal for Crysencio Summerville briefly raised home spirits before Forest responded immediately, with Nicolás Domínguez heading in from a corner. The decisive moment came late on when Alphonse Areola clattered into Morgan Gibbs-White, who calmly converted the resulting penalty in the 89th minute. The defeat leaves West Ham winless in ten matches and drifting toward relegation, with frustration growing among players and supporters. Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, were far from fluent but showed resilience to end a poor run and move seven points clear of the drop zone, while pressure continues to mount on West Ham boss Nuno Espírito Santo.
