West Ham have lost two consecutive home matches in the Championship

West Ham United suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at the London Stadium, leaving head coach Nuno Espirito Santo under significant pressure. The loss marked the Hammers' second consecutive home defeat, with the team now sitting six points off the promotion pace in eighth place. Fans expressed their frustration at the final whistle, reflecting the growing dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

West Brom's victory propelled them into the top four, much to the delight of their travelling supporters. The Baggies displayed a slick and measured approach throughout the match, capitalising on West Ham's defensive vulnerabilities. The home side's struggles continued as they conceded first once again, a trend that has plagued them in recent matches.

The Hammers initially created a promising opportunity through Edvin Austbo's run, but it was West Brom who struck first. Felix Horn Myhre scored from close range after a well-executed move, putting the visitors ahead. Although West Ham equalised through a deflected effort from Jarrod Bowen, the joy was short-lived as West Brom quickly regained the lead shortly after the break.

West Ham attempted to mount a comeback, but their efforts were thwarted by a resolute West Brom defence. The Baggies extended their lead with a deflected shot from Callum Styles, leaving the Hammers struggling to respond. Despite a late chance from substitute Taty Castellanos, West Ham failed to threaten the Albion goal meaningfully, showcasing their ongoing issues in front of goal.
