Head coach Steve Cooper blasted an “unacceptable” second half capitulation as Nottingham Forest were thumped 4-0 by West Ham United.
The Reds shot themselves in the foot with their collapse after Danny Ings had opened the scoring in the 70th minute. Ings made it a quickfire double by netting again three minutes later, and it became four in the space of quarter of an hour as Declan Rice and Michail Antonio made sure of the three points for the hosts.
Defeat at the London Stadium continued Forest’s dismal form on the road, with just six points taken and three goals scored this season. And it meant their cushion to the bottom three has been narrowed to four points with 14 games to go.
