There’s no getting away from Nottingham Forest’s woeful 15-minute capitulation at the London Stadium. It was a total disasterclass in how to shoot yourselves in the foot.
Once West Ham United’s first went in, the Reds simply collapsed. They completely folded. A horrible combination of dismal defending and dreadful game-management which saw them fall apart.
As Steve Cooper said: “It was unacceptable in so many ways, and particularly from a mentality, a concentration and decision-making point of view.” The Forest head coach admitted he was finding it “difficult to comprehend” what had happened.
