Nottingham Forest delivered a crucial 2-0 victory over West Ham, further increasing the pressure on manager David Moyes, who faced criticism from disappointed fans.
Forest took the lead just before halftime through Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal, capitalizing on their opportunities throughout the match. Callum Hudson-Odoi sealed the win with a goal in added time, marking his third consecutive game with a goal and highlighting his resurgence under new manager Nuno.
The match took a dramatic turn for West Ham when Kalvin Phillips, on loan from Manchester City, was sent off after receiving two quick bookings. Phillips’ early dismissal added to his disappointing start at West Ham, exacerbating their struggles.
Despite Moyes’ defense of his record, citing last season’s Europa Conference League victory, discontent among some fans was evident, with calls for his exit growing louder.
Forest’s victory lifted them five points clear of the relegation zone, providing a much-needed boost to their survival hopes. With Awoniyi potentially sidelined due to injury, the onus will be on Hudson-Odoi to maintain his impressive form and contribute to Forest’s fight for top-flight status.
