Overview

• West Ham United ended their winless streak in the Premier League with a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, thanks to a late header from Tomas Soucek.
• The Hammers had gone four games without a victory in the league, but this win lifts them to ninth in the table with 17 points from 12 games.
• Nottingham Forest's poor defending was to blame for the loss, with a wayward pass in the third minute allowing Lucas Paqueta to score the opening goal for West Ham.
• Forest managed to take the lead in the 63rd minute with a goal from Anthony Elanga, but West Ham quickly equalized with a header from Jarrod Bowen.
• Despite being on the cusp of reaching the knockout rounds of the Europa League, West Ham's domestic form has been worrying with three successive defeats prior to this victory.
