WEST HAM made hard work of this game but held on to take the points from Nottingham Forest at the London Stadium.

It was essentially a game of two players for West Ham — the flamboyant and often frustrating Lucas Paqueta and the tidier, more reliable James Ward-Prowse. Between them they conjured all three West Ham goals.

Paqueta opened the scoring just two minutes into the game, picking up a misplaced pass from Nicolas Dominguez, then firing home from just outside the area.
