Nottingham Forest kept alive its Champions League qualification chances by beating West Ham 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.
Seventh-placed Forest moved level on points with Manchester City in sixth and will likely need to beat Chelsea — in fourth place and also battling to get into the Champions League — in the final round of matches next weekend to secure a top-five finish.
That would be a remarkable achievement for Forest, which narrowly avoided relegation last season.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenkovic were the scorers for Forest at the Olympic Stadium, before West Ham mounted a late comeback and saw in-form forward Jarrod Bowen reduce the deficit.
