Neco Williams makes a charge forwards and hits a bouncing ball on the full, but can only lash the strike wide of goal. That would've sealed it as we move into six minutes added time.
The Forest fans in full voice, trying to cheer their side over the line.

Anthony Elanga has been the best player on the pitch. He is a joy to watch and he scares the life out of defenders.

Nuno sitting on what he has and looking to see this one out. Forest, in third, will be eight points clear of fourth-placed Chelsea and nine ahead of Manchester City in fifth if it stays like this.

West Ham have dominated the second half but barring Soucek's unforgiveable miss have never looked like scoring. Potter has a massive amount of work to do. Didn't show up first half and toothless in the second. Numerous players aren't up to the job.

Forest's Anthony Elanga almost gets through into the penalty area, but Leny Yoro produces a fine challenge to get a foot on it. Great tackle.

"Ohhh Vitor Pereira," the home fans chant. The Wolves boss replies with a bow before going big with the fist pumps.

Nikola Milenkovic was not expecting it and he lashed at it. What an introduction that could have been for the Manchester United player [Mason Mount].
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Manchester United
Mason Mount almost with a dream return to the Manchester United side on his first appearance of 2025. Nikola Milenkovic makes a rare error to gift Mount a shooting chance and he tries to curl it into the far corner. He almost does too, but sees his strike go just wide. Close. Forest hanging on with 10 to go.

The belief, swagger and confidence they played with at times was impressive but they notably stuck together against a resurgent West Ham.
Wolves desperately needed that win.
Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
The corner comes to nothing in the end but Fulham really could've taken at least a point from this game had they managed to find that form earlier in the match.
The stadium has pretty much emptied.

Another change for the visitors. Joshua Zirkzee goes off for Mason Mount, who has had terrible injury problems since joining United.

The Emirates is almost empty, the home fans thought it was a foregone conclusion. But we have two minutes of jeopardy left.
Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
Fulham have been much better in this last 15 minutes or so. Where have they been for the other 75 minutes?
Can they take something from this? It's a nail-biting finish as they win a corner.
Wolves 1-0 West Ham
There's the whistle. Jorgen Strand Larsen's first-half goal is the difference.
That moves Wolves 12 points clear of the relegation zone. Surely that's them safe for another season?!

Forest are still creating chances as they look to get the second goal to kill the game off. Morgan Gibbs-White goes on a jinking run but is crowded out. His subsequent appeals for a penalty are waved off.

Vitor Pereira is orchestrating the crowd, waving his arms and calling for more noise.
And the Molineux crowd obey as Wolves close in all three points.
Bukayo Saka celebrates his goal as he returns from injury
Bukayo Saka scored just seven minutes into his return after 101 days out injured to help Arsenal beat Fulham at Emirates Stadium.
The England forward came off the bench in the second half, with the score at 1-0, and showed Arsenal what they have missed during his absence, heading in Gabriel Martinelli's flick at the far post on 73 minutes.
Mikel Merino had given the Gunners the lead in the 37th minute when his shot was deflected into the corner after Ethan Nwaneri's cut-back.
Rodrigo Muniz pulled a goal back for Fulham in stoppage time when his shot was deflected by William Saliba and wrong-footed goalkeeper David Raya.
The win moved Arsenal to within nine points of runaway leaders Liverpool.
It was a mixed night for the Gunners though who, despite the positive of having Saka back from his serious hamstring injury, lost centre-back Gabriel early in the first half, which is a worry for manager Mikel Arteta with a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid next week.
Fulham defended deep throughout the match but should have pulled one back much earlier when substitute Muniz headed wide from six yards out with the goal gaping.
Arsenal take on Everton on Saturday in the Premier League before preparing for the first leg of their quarter-final against Real at home on Tuesday.
Arteta praises Saka's return and goal as 'good moment'
All of the talk before the match was of Saka's return after Arteta had said that the forward was "ready to go" after his lengthy injury.
The Gunners have suffered without him in the side and their failings in attack are one of the reasons they have not kept touch with Liverpool in the title race.
In the 16 games that the 23-year-old was available in the Premier League for Arsenal, they scored 34 goals at a rate of 2.1 per game.
In the 13 that he missed, the Gunners scored 19 at a rate of 1.5 per match - highlighting Saka's importance to the side.
His presence lifted the stadium and he received a standing ovation when he went out to warm up in the first half.
Arsenal initially struggled to break down Fulham, a common theme of their season which has seen injuries to attackers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus alongside Saka.
But Saka's introduction was loudly cheered and the stadium erupted when he scored. The sight of him hitting his stride immediately is a welcome one for those Arsenal fans, with a big test to come against European champions Real.
Arsenal deserved to beat Fulham - Silva
Fulham came to the Emirates with a very clear gameplan to defend deep and restrict Arsenal to limited chances.
Manager Marco Silva made five changes to the team that lost 3-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final to Crystal Palace and changed formation to play with five at the back.
The plan almost worked as Arsenal, as they have all season with their injuries, struggled to create clear openings before Merino's deflected shot gave them the breakthrough.
Fulham had good opportunities of their own as Raul Jimenez forced a good save from Raya and Muniz somehow missed before he eventually pulled one back
Silva cut a frustrated figure in his technical area and will be hoping that these two results do not derail the good work that Fulham have done up to this point.
