VAR Controversy: Forest Snatch Victory from West Ham

Nottingham Forest triumphed 2-1 against West Ham United in a pivotal Premier League clash, significantly impacting the relegation battle. The decisive moment arrived four minutes from full-time when a VAR review awarded Nottingham Forest a penalty. Morgan Gibbs-White successfully converted the spot-kick after he was fouled by West Ham's goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

The match saw a significant momentum swing, particularly after a Cysensio Summerville goal for West Ham was disallowed due to an offside call involving new signing Valentín Castellanos. This decision preceded Nottingham Forest's equalizer through Nicolas Dominguez, setting the stage for the late drama.

West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek expressed strong dissent over the penalty decision, deeming it 'a joke' and comparing the foul to basketball. This victory offers a much-needed boost for Nottingham Forest, while West Ham faces increased pressure as they remain seven points adrift of safety.
