Reflecting on the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest, Antonio told The Footballer's Football Podcast: "It was massive. We didn’t have the best run of form in that month between the two international breaks. To finish it off on a good win puts us in a good spot in the top 10 and we went to the break with less pressure on ourselves. Wait until you see the angles and the pictures and you will soon see how terrible it is that he allows it to go on. You can't get in the way of somebody getting it and allowing it to go and it ends up as a goal." The night got even worse for West Ham when a frustrated Moyes booted the ball at a ball boy and was shown a straight red card.

Honestly, at the end of the first half, I spoke with the referee and told him 'you have taken the right decision'," Conte told BT Sport. Spurs have enjoyed a decent start to the new season but it will be games like this which they feel they should be winning to be considered genuine title challengers.You’re not doom and gloom. If we lost that last game, we’d probably have gone into it with everyone a bit down and then with a two week break to try and correct it and make it right. For a few weeks, I want us to show our real faces instead of the nice one in one game, then the ugly one in the next." However, David Moyes' side showed resilience to come from behind, winning a game in which they conceded more than once for the first time since January 2022. It is incredible that VAR looked again, called the referee, he can see it was the right decision and the call from VAR was strange. I can tell only that the referee has taken the right decision. Usually the VAR calls when the call is not right."

The worry now is that we may not have enough to compete for those European places, especially as the likes of Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Brighton continue to impress.Burnley are winless in their past four Premier League meetings with West Ham United (D2 L2) - with the most recent two matches in 2021-22 both ending in draws. Bob: It’s becoming an increasingly unfortunate pattern, we play well enough (at times) but still can’t win a game! Barring a miracle, I’m beginning to doubt if we can stay up.

We were probably our own worst enemy, not retaining the ball. The last 10 minutes we had to suffer and it was a great penalty from Said. Like Manchester United, the Hammers have had a long and hard season, with their exploits in Europe meaning this was their 51st match of the campaign. Along with Rotherham United, Forest have the joint-fewest away league victories of any side in England's top four tiers since the start of last season, playing 26 matches and losing 18 of them.Mikel Arteta has said Declan Rice is “likely” to be involved against former club West Ham tonight, although it would surely be a needless risk for Arsenal to start their midfield lynchpin in a Carabao Cup tie. Arsenal are favourites to claim the points today, and with the extra rest they have had compared to their hosts it will take a supreme performance from West Ham to upset the odds. But title run ins are never simple and with Ings and Co still very much in a relegation dogfight Arteta's side will doubtless be prepared for typical London derby - tough with no inches given. In between it, there was a lot of good things, some not so good, but in the Premier League you have to take your wins when you get them. There will be an unwanted post-script as Uefa is bound to come down hard on the Hammers for the unwanted first-half scenes that left Biraghi playing with a bandage round his head for the last hour of the contest and forced the club to condemn those responsible. Fiorentina's Biraghi was hit in the head by an object thrown from the West Ham end They may have to settle for the Europa League at best and will need to finish fifth or sixth to qualify for the second-tier European competition, while seventh would leave them in the play-offs for the third-tier Europa Conference League.

West Ham scored their first 90th minute winner in a Premier League match since September 2021 at Leeds. Meanwhile, Tomas Soucek became the second player to score more than one 90th minute winner in the competition for the Hammers, along with Jermain Defoe. Chelsea regained their advantage in spectacular fashion, Mount sending a superb side-footed volley into the corner from Hakim Ziyech's low cross for his second goal in two games. West Ham made 10 changes to the side that lost 3-1 to Liverpool at the weekend - with Soucek the only player to retain his place - and they took time to find their rhythm. The 1981 Uefa Cup finalists had enjoyed an impressive European run, beating Lazio in the last 16 and coming from two goals down to beat Anderlecht on penalties in the quarter-finals. Tomas Soucek twice went close for the home side after the break as they pushed for a second, while Michail Antonio had a goal disallowed for a foul on De Gea.

Eredivisie side AZ were in their first European semi-final since losing to Sporting Lisbon in the last four of the 2004-05 Uefa Cup. Their tame finish to the match suggests their relentless schedule, in which they have played 57 matches already this season, may be taking its toll. Areola should have kept out Jovic's header, which was straight at him. Instead, he fumbled it over the line. The Frenchman was hugely relieved to see the offside flag raised, a decision confirmed by VAR. Jovic got an accidental boot in the face from Tomas Soucek instead and had to be replaced at the break.
