With Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug both still unavailable and Crysencio Summerville also yet to return from injury, West Ham’s options in attack remain limited.

However, Potter will take some encouragement that whatever was said at the interval, along with the introduction of Ferguson, James Ward-Prowse and Ollie Scarles, had a positive impact.

Republic of Ireland striker Ferguson almost immediately teed Mohammed Kudus up for an equaliser, but the Ghana

Arsenal closed to within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool as substitute Mikel Merino’s two late goals gave them victory at struggling Leicester City.

The Gunners’ striker shortage threatened to be exposed by the Foxes until Merino, on for the desperately out of sorts Raheem Sterling, stole in at the far post to break the deadlock.

Merino’s 81st-minute goal was created by Arsenal’s outstanding player, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who

Otherwise, this a performance from Forest that demonstrated exactly why they

When Brooks finished with aplomb it was impossible not to feel a degree of sympathy for Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

The England goalkeeper was his typically animated self but backed it up with a near-faultless display between the sticks.

Pickford superbly denied Dango Ouattara from close range early in the contest and then produced a double stop to deny Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert before the break.
