Nottingham Forest were too much for West Ham who weren’t helped by Edson Alvarez’s red card, and one player took it upon himself to celebrate by throwing a light-hearted shot at the Hammers.
Nuno Espirito Santo has constantly told interviewers and reporters that he doesn’t look at the Premier League table, but surely he’ll be sneaking a look in now his side are third.
It was one of the most well-rounded performances in recent times, with it looking like a training match at some points when trying to keep the ball.
However, there’s no letting up now as Nottingham Forest are set for a tough run of fixtures that will really define their season, with Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester City all coming up.
Nevertheless, the vibes are good right now and one player in particular took it upon himself to post a video of him mocking the Hammers in his celebration after the match.

Nottingham Forest star mocks West Ham after the game
Nottingham Forest are a team full of personalities, with the likes of Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina always cracking jokes and pranking each other.
As you’d expect, it was one of them doing the mocking after the game, as Ola Aina took to his snapchat to say a few words towards West Ham.
On his snapchat, which was shared online, he can be heard singing and dancing, with Anthony Elanga also joining in with the celebrations.
He states.
“Send them back to East London, we send them back. Send them packing.”
Ola Aina’s season to date at Nottingham Forest
Ola Aina has been a brilliant find for Nottingham Forest when you consider the fact he signed for absolutely nothing.
Interestingly, Aina’s performances have even attracted the attention of AS Roma and Juventus, though it looks as if Nottingham Forest are trying to tie him down instead.
The Nigerian full-back starred against Liverpool earlier on in the season and Aina starred against Leicester City too, as Alan Shearer was blown away by his display.
His versatility is what makes him a truly special player, with the ability to play at right-back, which has allowed Alex Moreno to slot in on the left.
