West Ham United delivered a statement performance with a 6-0 demolition of Wrexham in the Championship. The result pushes the Hammers to within two points of leaders West Brom and extends their winning run to four matches.
Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring in the 28th minute, finishing from a Felipe Morato assist. Joel Piroe doubled the advantage nine minutes later, set up by Taty Castellanos. Konstantinos Mavropanos headed in from a Bowen corner shortly after half-time to make it three.
Castellanos then got a goal of his own on 63 minutes, assisted by Kyle Walker-Peters. Substitute Mohamadou Kante added a fifth, and Manor Solomon completed the rout late on, with Walker-Peters providing his second assist of the game.
Bowen leads the charge
Bowen’s early strike set the tone for a one-sided affair. The forward, who also provided an assist, has been instrumental in West Ham’s strong start, which sees them second in the table with 11 points from six games. Their recent form reads four wins and a draw from the last five outings.
This comprehensive win follows a 3-2 comeback victory at Bolton and a 3-0 home win against Derby. The team’s attacking prowess is clear, having scored 14 goals already this season.
With confidence soaring, attention now turns to a significant London derby. West Ham travel to face Millwall on Saturday, 19 September, looking to continue their momentum and potentially reclaim top spot.
