Analysis: Evidence of progress for Potter

Graham Potter's double fist-pump celebration at Callum Wilson's third goal was understated, but it will have relieved the growing tension of the opening weeks of the season.

But the Hammers' problems stretch back further than the new term. Including Sunday's win, Potter has overseen just six victories from 24 games since he took charge in January.

His position had been in jeopardy before their trip to Nottingham, following defeats by Sunderland and Chelsea.

Potter now has the same amount of points in one more game than predecessor Julen Lopetegui had before he was dismissed.

The Spaniard was sacked having won 23 points from his 20 top flight games, suggesting there is precedence at the London Stadium for a swift change.

But victory at The City Ground shows there is life in this West Ham side, led by talisman Jarrod Bowen, and they deserved victory.
