West Ham Ends Winless Streak with 3-2 Victory Over Nottingham Forest

Tomas Soucek's Late Header Lifts Hammers to Ninth in Premier League, Close to Europa League Knockout Rounds

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.
