Nottingham Forest gave their Premier League survival bid a major shot in the arm with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium, ending a four-game losing streak and piling further pressure on the struggling Hammers, Softfootball reports.
Forest arrived in east London on the back of four straight league defeats, the most recent a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend , but boss Sean Dyche had urged his players to stay focused ahead of what he described as a "high-stakes" encounter . His side responded with a display full of resilience and belief.

Nuno Espirito Santo faced the daunting prospect of being sacked for the second time this season, while West Ham's form had already left their supporters restless. Early signs suggested more frustration was coming, as Alphonse Areola produced a stunning save to deny Neco Williams in the opening exchanges.
