The game ended after over ten minutes of added time, and the final whistle blew, keeping Nottingham Forest in the running for Champions League qualification. Currently, they are in seventh place with 65 points, just one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, whom they will face in their final game of the season.

In a post-match interview, Espirito Santo admitted that he felt anxious after West Ham's goal, saying, "Until then, we were in control. But when we allowed the goal, everything became difficult. Our goalkeeper, Matz Sels, played well, so we are happy."

Espirito Santo praised his team's performance, saying, "We started strongly. In previous games, we experienced some negative situations, but today was different. We applied good pressure, scored a good goal, and had a strong start to the second half. We were on the front foot for most of the game. The players worked hard to put pressure on West Ham."
