 West Ham United 3 - 1 Chelsea It was a memorable afternoon at the London Stadium for West Ham fans.

 West Ham United 0 - 0 Brighton & Hove Albion This match marked the first occasion in 24 league matches that Brighton didn't concede a goal, putting an end to a record-setting streak for the club. For West Ham, they would have been hoping to build on their wins over Manchester United and Arsenal but will ultimately be delighted with their points return over the Christmas and New Year period.  Brighton enjoyed more possession and created better chances in what was largely a dull game to kick off 2024 for both teams at London Stadium .

Arsenal 0 - 2 West Ham United Arsenal missed a golden opportunity to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool, as West Ham ended their four-game winless streak with a superb win at the Emirates. Author - DJ Stadium - Emirates Stadium Jarrod Bowen struck the decisive goal against a lacklustre Gunners side, who later saw youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off. A win would have put Arsenal within five points of Arne Slot’s Liverpool, ahead of their trip to Manchester City on Sunday. But Mikel Arteta’s side never found their rhythm, struggling to break down a resilient West Ham defence while also conceding the better chances over the 90 minutes. Bowen’s goal, his 50th in the Premier League, came late in the first half as he started and finished the move himself. After picking up a loose ball on the edge of his own area, he fed Aaron Wan-Bissaka and then continued his run, stooping low to head home the full-back’s cross. It was the first time this season that Arsenal had gone be...

Nottingham Forest 3 - 0 West Ham United Chris Wood continued his fantastic start to the season as Nottingham Forest claimed victory over West Ham in Saturday’s Premier League clash. Author - Craig H from GMCR Football  Forest entered the match as one of the Premier League’s standout teams. They have picked up an impressive 16 points from their first nine games, including results against both Liverpool and Chelsea. Wood’s form has been crucial to Forest’s strong run, and it was his close-range header that put the home side ahead at the City Ground.

West Ham United 0 - 5 Liverpool  Liverpool stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points as they thrashed an abject West Ham United at the London Stadium Author - William G Liverpool could have been out of sight early on, squandering several chances before Luis Díaz finally broke the deadlock with a powerful strike on the half-hour mark. Cody Gakpo doubled the lead 10 minutes later, capitalising on Mohamed Salah’s mesmerising footwork, and the Egyptian himself got in on the act with a precise low drive just before half-time – his 20th goal in a remarkable season. West Ham, under Julen Lopetegui, failed to even contain the damage. Trent Alexander-Arnold made it 4-0 nine minutes after the restart, his long-range shot deflecting off Max Kilman to leave Alphonse Areola helpless. For the hosts, only Mohammed Kudus showed any sign of resistance, striking the woodwork in both halves, while Luis Guilherme also hit the frame of the goal late on. However, these f...

Brentford manager Thomas Frank says his team's injury-time win at West Ham was a "massive" result for the club. Yoane Wissa scored an injury time winner as Brentford moved up to seventh in the table with a dramatic victory against West Ham United. Let's have a look at the best reaction The Brentford manager spoke with the media after the match and believes that his time can do even better: "If we can do that every week, it would be nice. Fantastic feeling away from home, a solid performance. In the second half, West Ham were better." David Moyes added:"It was a blow, we didn’t deserve that. I think Brentford will make it hard for lots of teams. In the second half, we dominated and in the first half, we missed opportunities." What stat?

West Ham United 2 - 0 Everton Familiar failings plagued Everton, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin isolated and Demarai Gray ineffective. Their best chance fell to Yerry Mina, who scooped over when the game was goalless, and they were shaky as soon after West Ham responded to the crowd’s demands for more urgency. Full-time at the London Stadium. pic.twitter.com/d5qPpElgKv — Everton (@Everton) January 21, 2023 West Ham players respond Saïd Benrahma was soon extending Jordan Pickford. West Ham made their physicality count and they led when a cross from their left wing-back, Emerson Palmieri, exposed the weaknesses in Everton’s defending. Kurt Zouma, back from injury and impressing alongside Nayef Aguerd and Angelo Ogbonna at the back, wanted it more than James Tarkowski and Conor Coady. It was easy for Zouma to flick the ball on and there was too much space for Bowen, who rushed in to guide a simple finish over Pickford. West Ham are always more dangerous when Bowen, who had not scored a l...
