Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. West Ham United FC kicks off things out of here…
5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Matz Sels suffering a number of foals already.
11' GOAL! Morgan Gibbs-White fires home to make it 0-1!
16' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
21' West Ham United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
26' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His West Ham United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
31' West Ham United FC are deployed in a 3-4-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against Nottingham Forest FC's 4-3-1-2 shape.
36' Nottingham Forest FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
41' Nottingham Forest FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
45' It’s a booking for West Ham United FC player. Vladimir Coufal gets a card.
50' Mohammed Kudus has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
52' That looks like a foul for a card for Elliot Anderson.
57' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Guido Rodriguez.
58' Fresh legs for West Ham United FC! Niclas Fullkrug comes on to replace Tomas Soucek.
59' Another change for West Ham United FC made on 59 minute. Guido Rodriguez leaves to be changed by Lucas Paqueta.
61' Goal! Nikola Milenkovic scores his 23 goal in 466 matches.
66' It looks surprising West Ham United FC does not make any changes. Elliot Anderson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
71' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
76' The referee shows West Ham United FC player a card on 76.
79' The West Ham United FC manager makes a substitution. Mohammed Kudus departs to be replaced by Luis Guilherme.
83' The Nottingham Forest FC manager makes a substitution. Elliot Anderson departs to be replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
86' A goal from the England international Jarrod Bowen! He fires home on 86 to make it 1-2!
90' That is a card for West Ham United FC. Jean-Clair Todibo will be fuming at that decision.
90' A tactical swap from Nottingham Forest FC — Jota Silva on, Anthony Elanga off on 90 minutes.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for West Ham United FC.
