"For a while it seemed the only thing that Nottingham Forest were going to get right was show safe hands when West Ham passed them the Premier League's crisis baton. Sean Dyche's side were jeered off after an awful first half but an unlikely turnaround earned them their first win since 14 December thanks to an equaliser from Nicolas Dominguez and a controversial late penalty from Morgan Gibbs-White."
"It was a goal that stopped the mood of the relegation fight shifting away from Forest. This was the night when it had to change for West Ham. A first win in 10 games would have had them closing in on 17th-placed Forest, who were looking at a fifth consecutive defeat after conceding a poor early goal, but there is no respite for Nuno Espirito Santo at the moment."
Nottingham Forest earned their first win since 14 December after Nicolas Dominguez equalised and Morgan Gibbs-White scored a controversial late penalty. West Ham remain without a clean sheet since hiring Nuno Espirito Santo and slipped seven points below Forest after a VAR review penalised Alphonse Areola for catching Gibbs-White. Empty seats and anti-board chants signalled growing apathy among West Ham supporters. Tomas Soucek returned to offer leadership while new signing Taty Castellanos showed promising link-up play. Forest had been under pressure, facing a potential fifth consecutive defeat after conceding an early goal.
