LONDON, Jan 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Nuno Espirito Santo insisted troubled West Ham can still avoid relegation after Morgan Gibbs-White's late penalty fired Nottingham Forest to a crucial 2-1 win on Tuesday. But West Ham had a second goal from Crysencio Summerville controversially ruled out by VAR for the tightest of offside decisions. Fourth-bottom Forest are now seven points clear of third-bottom West Ham with 17 games left in the fight for survival. Incensed by Gibbs-White's penalty, Nuno added: "It happens so many times during the matches that you get confused about the rules honestly. Yet since Nuno took charge on September 27 West Ham have averaged fewer points per game than under his much-maligned processor Graham Potter.
