Nottingham Forest fans celebrated a welcome victory in the capital that keeps them in the hunt for a place in the Champions League, but nerves were fraying at the end.
The Reds took a two goal-lead at West Ham before being left hanging on when the hosts hit back in the closing stages. Their fans also had to endure a nail-biting 17 minutes of stoppage time before victory was confirmed at the London Stadium, where Morgan Gibbs-White had put his side in front as early as the 11th minute.
[Nikola Milenkovic then doubled the lead just after the hour before Jarrod Bowen pulled one back for the Hammers](https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/nottingham-forest-ratings-west-ham-10192021), four minutes from the end of normal time. However, the game ran into more than 17 minutes of overtime due to stoppages to have Forest fans nervously awaiting the final whistle and the players battling desperately to hold onto their fragile lead.
