Nottingham Forest boosted their survival hopes with a late comeback win against West Ham United at a sparsely populated London Stadium. West Ham led early through Tomáš Souček but saw a second-half goal by Crysencio Summerville disallowed before Forest responded immediately, Nicolás Domínguez heading in from a corner. The decisive moment came in the 89th minute when Alphonse Areola fouled Morgan Gibbs-White, who converted the resulting penalty. The defeat leaves West Ham winless in 10 matches and seven points adrift of Forest in the table, increasing pressure on manager Nuno Espírito Santo. Forest, despite an uneven display, eased the strain on boss Sean Dyche, while West Ham’s defensive frailty and internal frustration continued to define a bleak season.
