"If Nuno Espirito Santo had considered a relaxing cruise after being sacked by Nottingham Forest, he finally got to enjoy the feeling by watching his West Ham defence look all at sea while the driving rain was his ocean spray. Two lapses in concentration within the opening quarter of an hour gave Leeds victory and further highlighted that the Hammers are in a relegation battle."
"West Ham sit second bottom of the Premier League nine games into the season, and their only win came against their current head coach. They had the majority of the ball at Elland Road and were eventually rewarded with a late consolation goal from Manuel Fernandes, but the stuttering start under Nuno continues, thanks to early close-range strikes from Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon."
West Ham conceded two early goals as Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon scored within the opening quarter-hour, handing Leeds a victory at Elland Road. The Hammers sit second-bottom of the Premier League after nine games, with their only win coming against their current head coach. West Ham dominated possession but lacked defensive organization under Nuno, with confusion and misplaced marking leading to the goals. Jarrod Bowen threatened with an overhead kick saved by Lucas Perri. Manuel Fernandes scored a late consolation. Away fans chanted against the club hierarchy as the side continued a stuttering start to the season.
