Manor Solomon Stars as West Ham Routs Wrexham 6-0 to Go Top
Manor Solomon shined with a goal and an assist as West Ham crushed Wrexham 6-0 to temporarily claim the top spot in the Championship, earning high praise from manager Nuno Espírito Santo.
A day after Manor Solomon's stellar performance in West Ham's 6-0 thrashing of Wrexham, the plaudits rolled in. The Israeli winger was named Man of the Match after scoring, assisting, and directly contributing to the first three goals, propelling the Hammers to the top of the Championship table, at least temporarily.
Solomon's Dominance on the Pitch
Solomon's statistics highlighted his sheer dominance: he completed 97% of his passes, won eight ball recoveries, created two chances, completed three successful dribbles—more than any other player—and recorded six touches in the opponent's box, also a match-high. On top of all this, he added a goal and an assist.
For Solomon, his 82nd-minute strike was particularly special, marking his first goal at the London Stadium since joining from Tottenham in the summer.
"I'm on cloud nine," Solomon said after the match. "This is a huge win for us. Six goals, a clean sheet, four consecutive wins in front of our fans. It's a truly great feeling and we want to keep going like this."
Looking Ahead to Fulham
West Ham has already scored 20 goals in their first seven league matches and 27 across all competitions, but Solomon is keeping his feet on the ground.
"It's easy to say this was our best game of the season, but we want to remain humble," he noted. "We still have a lot of room for improvement. Anyone looking at 0:6 might think it was easy for us, but it was nothing like that."
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo was also thrilled with the performance, praising the high pressing and the fact that all four attacking players found the back of the net. Up next for Solomon is a League Cup clash against his former club, Fulham.
