West Ham United turned what looked destined to be another frustrating outing into a statement victory, hitting Nottingham Forest with three goals in the final minutes to claim a dramatic 3–0 away win in the Premier League.

Forest Hold Firm… Until the Storm Hit

For much of the afternoon, Nottingham Forest kept West Ham quiet. Matz Sels produced a fine save from Lucas Paquetá, while Nuno Espírito Santo’s men looked disciplined and compact. But with just six minutes left, the dam finally broke.

Bowen Breaks the Deadlock

In the 84th minute, Jarrod Bowen pounced on a clever setup from new signing Crysencio Summerville to rifle home the opener. The goal shattered Forest’s resistance and set the tone for a wild finish.

Paquetá Makes His Point

Moments later, Summerville drew a foul in the box from Ibrahim Sangaré. Paquetá stepped up, cool as ever, and buried the penalty before kissing the West Ham badge in front of the away fans a celebration loaded with pride and defiance.

Wilson Seals It in Style

The final blow came in stoppage time. Callum Wilson, freshly arrived in claret and blue, nodded home Malick Diouf’s cross to put the result beyond doubt. It was the striker’s first goal for the club and one that capped off a ruthless seven-minute blitz.

What It Means

For West Ham, it was more than just three points it was their first league win of the season and their first victory at the City Ground since 1996. Manager Graham Potter called it a “reward for resilience” and a sign his side are ready to turn the corner.

For Nottingham Forest, the defeat was brutal. After controlling large spells, they crumbled when it mattered most, leaving boss Nuno Espírito Santo under mounting pressure as speculation swirls about his future.

👉 West Ham’s late show wasn’t just about goals it was a reminder that even when the Hammers stumble, they can still strike with venom. For Forest, the collapse may haunt them for weeks.
