"Morgan Gibbs-White's late penalty fired Nottingham Forest to a crucial 2-1 win over West Ham that left their relegation rivals in deep trouble. Sean Dyche's side fell behind to Murillo's early own goal at the London Stadium. But West Ham had a second goal from Crysencio Summerville controversially ruled out by VAR for the tightest of offside decisions."
"Forest rubbed salt into West Ham's wounds with a stirring fightback as Nicolas Dominguez equalised before Gibbs-White netted from the spot after another VAR call went the visitors' way. Fourth-bottom Forest are now seven points clear of third-bottom West Ham with 17 games left in the fight for survival. Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo said last weekend's dismal 3-0 defeat against bottom of the table Wolves was the worst of his managerial career."
"I don't see Nuno staying,"
"I just can't see it how you can go this long without winning a game. Tonight wasn't the worst performance by a long shot, it wasn't, and they still didn't get a result. It's heart-breaking but I don't see another answer."
Murillo's early own goal gave West Ham an initial advantage before Crysencio Summerville had a second goal controversially ruled out by VAR for a marginal offside. Nicolas Dominguez equalised and Morgan Gibbs-White converted a late penalty after another VAR intervention to secure a 2-1 Nottingham Forest victory. The win left Forest fourth-bottom and seven points clear of third-bottom West Ham with 17 matches remaining. West Ham have gone 10 games without a win and earned one point from their last six, increasing pressure on manager Nuno Espirito Santo and prompting calls for his dismissal. Ending four straight defeats boosted Forest's survival bid under Sean Dyche.
