Nuno Espirito Santo spoke to BBC Match of The Day after Nottingham Forest's victory against West Ham: "A lot of stoppage in the game so we were anxious to get the game finished.

"Until then [West Ham goal] we were in control. Then the anxiety comes when we allowed the goal and everything is difficult from there. Matz [Sels] did great again so we're happy.

"We started really well. Previous games a lot of bad things happened to us but today was not the case. Today we pressed good, got a good goal, started well in the second half, on the front foot. Generally a good performance.

"The players worked hard to put West Ham under pressure."

On VAR delay: "The referee came to explain the situation, they lost connection with Stockley [Park] that was the delay."

On fighting for Champions League: "It's great. Let's enjoy it, it's going to be a good week for us. If we'd thought in the beginning of the season that we'd be playing to play in the Champions League we'd sign it."

Whatever happens next Sunday against Chelsea, this has been Nottingham Forest's best season since they finished third in 1994-95.

The current class, 30 years later, are matching and yet may exceed the side who earned Uefa Cup qualification under the management of Frank Clark.

Against West Ham, Anthony Elanga recorded his 11th league assist of the campaign - equalling Forest's Premier League season record, set by Bryan Roy in 94-95.

And if he scores twice against the Blues, Chris Wood will match the 22 goals scored by Stan Collymore in Forest's best season of the Premier League era.

Forest need to beat Chelsea and hope other results go their way to avoid going into the Europa League, the successor the competition graced by Clark's boys.

But this win at West Ham, earned over an astonishing 112 minutes and 55 seconds, shows they are ready to fight and go one better with Champions League qualification.

This is a huge game for my boyhood side, Nottingham Forest.

They need to win to keep their hopes of a top-five finish alive, but my fear is they have already blown it.

I played at the City Ground many times but I think my stint there as a Sky pundit for last weekend's draw with Leicester was the first time I've watched a game there rather than been on the pitch, and it was not enjoyable viewing for us fans.

I thought that game was a must-win for our Champions League hopes, and if they drop more points here they could drop out of contention completely.

I've heard some people say that Forest have bottled it, but I don't agree. They have just run out of steam.

Forest's aim now is to get to next weekend and still be in touch before they host Chelsea in their final game of the season, but whether that happens or not relies on which West Ham team turns up.

The Hammers were on a poor run before they went to Old Trafford last weekend and won. That would usually be an impressive result but it is not much of an achievement at the moment.

I know who I want to win but, for different reasons, it is hard to back either side here.
