West Ham came from behind to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 in a thrilling match at London Stadium. The hosts broke the deadlock inside three minutes when Paqueta made the most of a loose past from Dominguez to drive a low shot into the bottom corner. Areola denied Awoniyi's header from close range but could do nothing about Forest's leveller. Gibbs-White got the better of Emerson on the right before having his shot saved, but Awoniyi tapped in the rebound. There were then two goals inside 123 seconds. Elanga directed Aina's cutback into the corner to give Cooper's side the lead, only for Bowen to equalise soon after. He got on the end of a Ward-Prowse corner and powered his header into the top corner. Soucek crashed the bar and forced a smart stop out of Vlachodimos before scoring the winner. Ward-Prowse delivered another pinpoint corner, with Soucek's downward header beating the goalkeeper. After the international break, West Ham head to Burnley in the Premier League. As for Forest, they host Brighton. That's all for today, goodbye.

15:00

West Ham looked in control after scoring after three minutes but struggled to create noteworthy opportunities. They only accumulated an expected goals (xG) of 0.35 compared to Forest's 1.12 and were forced to keep possession outside the opposition's box. Bowen usually plays on the wing but has struggled up front, only having five touches in the half. As for Forest, they have been bright in spells and deserved their equaliser. Elanga was one of their best players and constantly looked to beat Coufal on the left, with the right-back having to be careful after being shown a yellow card.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:56

Awoniyi scored just before half-time to send West Ham and Forest level going into the break. The Hammers were the better side in the opening exchanges and scored inside three minutes. Paqueta made the most of a poor pass from Dominguez and drilled his low shot into the bottom corner. Awoniyi thought he netted the equaliser later on, but his header was saved excellently by Areola. Paqueta had a shot saved, and Alvarez missed the target with an ambitious effort before Forest were level. Gibbs-White got the better of Emerson down the right and had a low shot across the goal pushed away by the goalkeeper. However, Awoniyi was there for the rebound and had a simple finish.

HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 1-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:52

West Ham will be frustrated with the late goal that they have conceded. They were controlling the pace of the game and were putting some nice passing moves together outside the box, but couldn't add to their early goal.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:50

Awoniyi has scored six of Nottingham Forest's last eight away goals in the Premier League.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

Goal Taiwo Micheal Awoniyi

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:47

West Ham’s Bowen has been involved in 10 goals in his last 12 Premier League starts (eight goals and two assists), although only three of those have come at the London Stadium (two goals and one assist). He has had a quiet half up front and has not had a lot of service. Coufal has another chance to find him in the box but sends his cross straight out for a goal-kick.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:44

Kudus looks to rush past Toffolo on a couple of occasions, but the left-back gets the better of the West Ham man to win possession. Kudus has not had a lot of luck down the right, with most of his best work coming down the middle third of the pitch.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:43

Paqueta and Gibbs-White battle for the ball in the air, with the West Ham man coming off worse. There are some concerns around London Stadium with the Brazil international staying down, but he returns to his feet after a short period on the floor.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:42

WIDE! Forest break away through Gibbs-White, but his flicked pass is poor and West Ham have it back. Kudus finds Bowen, who has a cross blocked. The hosts recycle possession back to Alvarez, who strikes a shot well wide from distance.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:40

Elanga collects a direct pass on the byline and wins a corner off Coufal, who is having an indifferent game against the winger. Gibbs-White sends an inswinging corner into the box, but Areola punches it away. Forest work the ball back to Gibbs-White. However, his second cross is cleared away and Forest are forced back. The former Wolves man will be disappointed with his deliveries into the box so far.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:37

Sangare trips Kudus, who was breaking into Forest's half. He is fortunate not to be shown a yellow card that would see him miss their next game against Brighton.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:34

West Ham have won just six of their last 34 Premier League matches against sides who aren’t newly promoted to the division that season (drawing eight and losing 20), with two of those wins coming against sides relegated last season (1-0 v Southampton in April, 3-1 v Leeds in May). They have been the better side so far and are putting Forest under pressure down the wings.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:32

Ward-Prowse is pulling the strings for West Ham. He has possession on the left and looks to curl a pass into the feet of Bowen, but Vlachodimos reads his intentions and rushes off his line to claim it.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:31

West Ham are clever in possession on the right. Ward-Prowse cuts a pass across to Soucek, who attempts to curl a pass down the right of the box to Bowen. However, he is tracked by Niakhate, who lets the ball go out for a goal-kick.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:30

All of Forest's attacks are coming down the left. Elanga pokes the ball through Coufal's legs and rushes around the other side. He has time to find an option in the heart of the box but sends his cross straight into the gloves of Areola.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:29

Coufal is being challenged defensively but is having a lot of joy in the attack. He chests the ball past Elanga and sends a searching cross into the box, but it is just beyond Bowen in the middle.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:28

Toffolo plays a ball down the right and slides a pass down the wing to Elanga, who wins a corner off Coufal. Gibbs-White looks for options in the middle, but Areola punches it away. Although nothing comes of the attack, Forest will be encouraged by Elanga's ability to challenge Coufal, who is on a yellow card.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:25

Yellow Card Vladimír Coufal

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:25

Coufal has space on the right and he lofts a deep cross over to Paquetá at the back of the box. He shapes to shoot on the volley but instead attempts to play a pass inside, allowing Forest to clear the ball away.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:23

Kudus rolls past Toffolo before being pushed in the back by Mangala. West Ham still have possession, but the referee gives a free-kick. Moyes wanted the game to continue with his team on the ball.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:22

West Ham were by far the better team in the opening 10 minutes, but Forest are starting to grow into the game and are keeping possession well. Awoniyi looks to poke a fast throughball into the path of Elanga, but his pass is intercepted.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:20

Murillo was defending against Paqueta and slips in front of him before Vlachodimos made a simple save. He seems hurt and needs medical attention, but will be fine to continue.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:18

Niakhate has a throw-in on the left, but it is poor and West Ham break away with speed. Kudus rushes through the middle and has Ward-Prowse to his right but decides to go to Paqueta on his left. He looks to score his second goal of the game, but his effort is tame. Ward-Prowse is frustrated that the ball didn't go to him.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:16

SAVE! What a stop from Areola. Gibbs-White's cross from the right is heavy, but Elanga does well to recover it on the other side before rolling a pass back to Toffolo. He then curls a cross onto the head of Awoniyi, who has his effort pushed away by Areola.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:14

Coufal darts down the right with possession and plays a quick one-two with Kudus. He is up against Elanga, with the Forest man doing well to force the ball out for a goal-kick. Coufal is furious with the referee as he thinks West Ham should have a corner.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:12

Niakhate launches a long throw-in into the box that is headed away by Alvarez. It comes back to the centre-back, but his pass is tame and Soucek pokes it clear.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:11

West Ham have been brilliant in the opening seven minutes of the match and already have the lead. Kudus is looking energetic on the right and is trying to get on the ball as much as possible. However, he has not had a chance to run at Toffolo.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:09

West Ham break forward again through Ward-Prowse, who slides a pass down the left to Emerson. He looks to whip a cross into the box, but Aina makes the block.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:05

Goal Lucas Tolentino Coelho de Lima

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:04

Forest manager Cooper will be hoping that his Forest side will take encouragement from their win over Villa in their previous match to claim a rare away win in the league. Among managers to take charge of at least 25 Premier League matches, only Nigel Worthington (21.2 per cent) and Brian McDermott (21.7 per cent) have won a lower percentage of their points in away games than Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper (12 out of 51, 23.5 per cent).

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:04

Forest get this Premier League clash under way.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

14:02

Forest have won just two of their last 17 top-flight meetings with West Ham (drawing seven and losing eight), with both wins coming by a 1-0 scoreline in January 1997 and August last season. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get started.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

13:50

Unsurprisingly, Forest name the same team that started their 2-0 win over Villa in their previous Premier League outing. They are also boosted by the return of Origi and Wood to the squad, with the pair back from injury.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

13:46

West Ham make three changes to the side that beat Olympiakos in the Europa League. Areola returns to take his usual Premier League place in goal for the Hammers, with Fabianski dropping onto the bench. Captain Zouma returns after missing the last few matches and comes in for Mavropanos. Soucek also starts instead of Benrahma in the midfield.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

13:30

Forest ended their six-game winless run with an impressive 2-0 win over in form Aston Villa at the City Ground in their previous outing. Ola Aina's strike from outside the box put Steve Cooper's men ahead after five minutes, with Orel Mangala doubling Forest's advantage soon after half-time. The Tricky Trees' first league win since the start of September has pushed them seven points clear of the relegation zone, but they will have to perform better on their travels if they want to make it back-to-back victories. They have lost 17 games away from home since the start of the 2022-23 season and failed to score on 13 occasions (including their previous three on the road).

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

13:30

West Ham beat Olympiacos in midweek to move to the top of Group A in the Europa League and will be looking to continue their momentum into the Premier League. The Hammers have lost their last three top-flight matches against Aston Villa, Everton and Brentford, conceding eight goals. David Moyes’ men won three of their first four games but have only secured one victory in their previous seven fixtures. As a result, they have dropped down to 13th place. However, West Ham will take encouragement from the fact that they have triumphed in four of their last five Premier League home matches against Forest, with their only defeat coming back in January 1997.
