Gibbs-White Converts 89th-Minute VAR Penalty as Forest Beat West Ham 2-1

West Ham’s 10th straight league game without a win sharpened scrutiny on Nuno Espírito Santo.

Overview

  • West Ham went ahead in the 13th minute when Murillo headed into his own net from Tomáš Souček’s flicked corner.
  • A Crysencio Summerville strike that would have made it 2-0 was disallowed after VAR judged debutant Taty Castellanos offside in the build-up.
  • Nicolás Domínguez equalised with a glancing header from an Elliott Anderson corner early in the second half.
  • VAR awarded a late penalty after Alphonse Areola collided with Morgan Gibbs-White on 89 minutes, and Gibbs-White converted to seal the win.
  • Forest move seven points clear of West Ham in the table, while empty seats and growing fan discontent framed a 10-match league winless run that increases pressure on the Hammers’ manager.
