77 mins - GOAL! Reid! Piquionne wins a corner and Taylor's initial corner is poor but he wins the ball back and crosses with his right foot. The ball bounces through to the unmarked Reid at the far post and he finishes with aplomb under Camp's body.

70 mins - GOAL! West Ham concede their first away goal of the season. Substitute Lynch is the provider, ending a slick move by crossing low for Findley to net from 12 yards. Game on?


Half-time score - Nottingham Forest 0-3 West Ham United

32 mins - GOAL! Cole! Unbelievable stuff! Taylor delivers the ball from the left and it flicks off a head to O'Brien, stationed just outside the box. He controls, crosses and Reid heads back across goal for Cole to glance home from about five yards.


24 mins - GOAL! Nolan! Cole does superby to pick the ball up wide on the left and run at Morgan. He gets between two defenders and wins a corner. Superb work. Taylor sends the corner to the back post for Tomkins. He nods back into the six-yard box and Nolan does the rest from close-range.

21 mins - GOAL! Own-goal! The Hammers lead! West Ham break and Nolan and Cole are both involved before Taylor takes a touch and slams a low cross into the danger zone. Chambers swings his right leg and the ball spins into the bottom right-hand corner!1.17pm - West Ham will kick-off shooting towards the Trent End...
