From a Nottingham Forest point of view, it was a very good away performance. A workman like performance, which, at times in the first half they knew they weren’t going to always have the ball. They suffered without the ball, playing on the counter-attack at times. They stayed in the game, and knew that they could hurt Tottenham.

I don’t see a structure. A game plan, or a way of playing. I don’t see a tactical idea. I see a team that’s set up in the first instance, that changes two or three times during the game. They look devoid of ideas, and a manager who is looking for something that he is yet to find, and no time to find it.

West Ham United have picked up just 29 points from 31 Premier League matches so far this season.

The 2006-07 (34 games) and 2009-10 (33 games) campaigns are the only time the Hammers have reached 30 or more points later than this season.

Their 16 defeats is also their most at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 2019-20 (L18).

You feel like any time Villa create an opportunity they can do it with ease. It's been a real professional performance. West Ham started the game brightly but since Villa took the lead this afternoon we've seen the quality and ruthlessness they possess.

It's been a brilliant performance. Ollie Watkins was the talking point before the game but it perhaps was the galvanisation that was needed. They've ticked every single box.

A big, big, big win for Nottingham Forest.

A big, big, big loss for Tottenham.

Where do they go from here?

If you look around the stadium now, it's a sad sight. There are more empty blue seats from a Tottenham perspective than there are full ones.

Just a minute to go. The Tottenham fans who do remain are staring off into the middle distance, it feels like they've actually given hope of actually staying up.

As quickly as they came in, they are leaving even quicker. The Tottenham fans came here full of hope, full of expectations, and aspiration to get behind their team and support a performance of a team that wants to stay in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest have drained that out of everyone.

A fully deserved win for the hosts. West Ham slip to yet another defeat on the road.

The West Ham end is emptying quickly as we get to time added on.

They have Wolves at home in their next Premier League outing on 10 April. That is now surely a must win.

Matz Sels is doing a good job of preserving Forest's clean sheet as he saves well from a corner, before Destiny Udogie heads wide.

Soungoutou Magassa gets down the left for West Ham and then completely shanks his cross behind the Aston Villa goal. That aptly sums up the Hammers' performance today.

Aston Villa take off Ollie Watkins and bring on Tammy Abraham for the last knockings of this game.

Looks a little bit tired from a West Ham perspective. They're giving everything, you can't deny that, but they're just lacking in real quality.

Aston Villa have been too strong, they've got fresh legs on the pitch and it's really encouraging from their perspective.

Conior Gallagher is on for Archie Gray for Tottenham.

The TV camera provides shots of various Spurs fans, all with glum and resigned looks on their faces. They aren't sensing a fightback here, to be fair the performance gives them no reason to believe there will be one.

A last throw of the dice for West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo, who takes off Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tomas Soucek and brings on Mohamadou Kante and Soungoutou Magassa.
