Premier League round-up: Forest go third; Saints first win, Leicester level late

Nottingham Forest soared to their highest league position in 26 years after they beat 10-man West Ham 3-0 at the City Ground.

Goals from Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina saw off a ragged Hammers team, who had Edson Alvarez sent off, to take Forest third in the Premier League.

Not since August 1998, when a 2-1 win over Southampton left Dave Bassett's side second in the standings, have Forest sat so high.

They ended up being relegated that season but their ambitions are much loftier this time around as they appear to be building something special under Nuno Espirito Santo.

This was their third win in a row and in a season of strange results, they could mount an unlikely top-six challenge.

That already looks impossible for West Ham, who were unable to build on last week’s win over Manchester United, and boss Julen Lopetugui will be under some scrutiny after a less than impressive start to his reign.

Jordan Ayew's stoppage-time equaliser denied Ipswich a first Premier League win of the season as Leicester snatched a 1-1 draw.

Town were on course for their first three points in the top flight since April 2002 when a superb volley from Leif Davis put them ahead.

But the Tractor Boys had Kalvin Phillips sent off with 15 minutes remaining and the 10 men were unable to hold on.

Instead, Ayew’s last-gasp strike meant Kieran McKenna’s immensely watchable side have now squandered a lead five times in 10 matches this season.

Adam Armstrong scored an 85th-minute winner as Southampton beat Everton 1-0 to earn their first Premier League victory of the season.

The left winger's late goal helped lift the Saints off the foot of the table on a day where they were also indebted to the heroics of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
