Despite a late rally, West Ham suffered another damaging defeat, succumbing to a 2-1 loss against Leeds at Elland Road. The visitors started woefully and fell two goals behind in the first half thanks to Aaronson’s tap-in and Rodon’s emphatic header. In the second half, with the expectation on Nuno’s men to attack and find a goal, they struggled to show intent. Eventually, West Ham scored in the 90th minute when Fernandes flicked in Bowen’s cross. However, Leeds held on and claimed a deserved three points. Farke’s side recorded a higher expected goals (xG), with 1.58 to West Ham’s 0.63. Leeds also managed more shots, with 13 to West Ham’s nine. This result moves Leeds up to 13th, while West Ham stay in the relegation zone in 19th. In their next Premier League games, Leeds travel to Brighton, while West Ham host Newcastle United.

Should they go on to lose this match, West Ham’s haul of just four points from nine games would represent their joint-worst return ever at this stage of a league campaign, also picking up just four in the second tier in 1932-33 and in 1973-74 in the top-flight (both using three points for a win).
