West Ham Secure First Win, Move Off Premier League Bottom, Ease Potter Pressure

West Ham secured their first Premier League win of the season with a dramatic 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, easing pressure on manager Graham Potter. The goals came late in the match, starting with Jarrod Bowen's strike in the 84th minute, followed by a Lucas Paqueta penalty and a headed goal from Callum Wilson during stoppage time. This win not only lifted West Ham off the bottom of the table but also marked their first clean sheet after conceding 11 goals in their previous three matches. Despite earlier struggles and scrutiny over Potter's position, the team's performance showed heart and character, with new signing Mateus Fernandes adding energy in midfield. Meanwhile, Forest’s manager Nuno Espirito Santo faces uncertainty as he prepares for talks with club owner Evangelos Marinakis amid strained relations and a disappointing team performance. The victory provides West Ham with momentum heading into upcoming London derbies against Tottenham and Crystal Palace.
