Nuno Espirito Santo is facing mounting pressure after stylish 3-1 win at the London Stadium left , the Championship promotion favourites, six points off the pace in eighth place.
A second consecutive home defeat contained few saving graces for Nuno, who faced the wrath of fans on the final whistle. Albion, slick and measured, moved into the top four with their 3,000 travelling fans revelling in the discomfort of Nuno, once manager of arch-rivals Wolves.
After falling behind in nine of their previous 15 games, West Ham conceded first again on 20 minutes, with the unmarked midfielder Felix Horn Myhre firing home from point-blank range.
West Ham levelled when a Jarrod Bowen shot deflected in off Callum Styles, but within three minutes of the restart Albion were back in front. Jimmy-Jay Morgan1 struck his fourth goal of the season from the corner of the six-yard box.
Within two minutes of Walker-Peters limping off with a thigh injury, and with Nuno using up all his five substitutes, Price's corner was only half-cleared to Styles and his fierce, deflected shot made it three.
Asked about visiting fans' taunts that he would be "sacked in the morning", Nuno said: "This is the reality: we can only change this if we win games. There is pressure every day. We have conceded six goals at home in two games and we have to fix it. The idea and the approach is to try and score first. That is the objective of any team and it's our responsibility to change it."
The in-form Will Lankshear scored twice as maintained their position at the top with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over at the Riverside. Sebastian Berhalter opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Lankshear netted twice to take his tally to 15 in all competitions.
provided the perfect response to last Saturday's hammering at QPR by beating 4-0. The hosts were three goals to the good by half-time thanks to Stephen Eustáquio, Joseph Opoki and Filip Lissah, with the Scotland international striker Ross Stewart scoring his first goal for the Swans on the hour mark to complete the rout. Tony Mowbray's Rovers had arrived in Wales having won four of their previous six games, including last week's 2-0 home victory over Wrexham, but were blown away in the first half.
Headed goals from Fer Lopez, Adam Armstrong and Ladislav Krejci helped beat 3-0 at Molineux. Wolves gave themselves the platform for victory by scoring twice in the first 15 minutes and made it four games unbeaten and back-to-back wins without conceding, ending Cardiff's three-match unbeaten run.
Cameron Bragg scored his first Championship goal as made it 17 home league matches without losing with a 4-1 victory over . Kuryu Matsuki, Keven Schlotterbeck and Welington also got on the scoresheet as Saints stayed fifth and kept pace with the leaders.
Two-goal August Priske was praised by his manager, Chris Davies, after the recalled Danish striker helped beat 3-1 at the ProAmpac Stadium. He scored either side of the break to take his season tally to seven, with Alex Cochrane securing the win after the Imps substitute Tom Bayliss had reduced the deficit.
"He gave us a real focal point, with his size and his strength," said Davies. "He's very mature for his age and he has all the tools, the temperament, the technical skills, the physicality and again he just needs to keep hungry, keep pushing."
Mark Robins saluted his on-song side but admitted they could have been "more clinical" despite putting bottom side to the sword with a comfortable 2-0 victory. Goals from Ben Wilmot and Jack McGlynn did the damage as Stoke claimed a seventh victory in their past 10 league games.
Fabio Celestini's tenure as head coach began with a 0-0 draw against at Turf Moor as the Clarets failed to capitalise on their first-half advantage. The Swiss manager, who celebrated his 51st birthday on Saturday, saw his side create a host of chances before the break, but a lack of clinical finishing ultimately cost them.
Kyrell Lisbie scored twice in the early stages as eased to a 4-1 victory against struggling at The Den. The Lions scored three goals in the first 17 minutes to cruise to their second win in eight league games. It was another worrying afternoon for the Rams, though, who were never in the contest and remain second from bottom, four points from safety, and without a win in nine games.
came from behind to stun 3-2 with an added-time Scott Twine winner. The visitors trailed 2-1 with six minutes of normal time remaining, but Sam Bell levelled before fellow substitute Twine ensured their manager, Michael Skubala, celebrated his 44th birthday with three points. City's win was their first in five games while Bolton have now gone six weeks since their last success at home.
Alessio Dionisi hit out at his players after surrendered a two-goal half-time lead to lose 3-2 at , increasing the pressure on his position. Watford looked well placed to take the points after Myron Boadu opened his account for the club with a well-taken double, but Norwich were a different side in the second half, and never looked back after Ben Chrisene had pulled one back in the 54th minute. Anthony Musaba raced through down the right to level the scores after 62 minutes and nine minutes later it was 3-2 as Paris Maghoma fired home.
"I am furious," said Dionisi. "It is difficult to explain the difference between the first and second half. Football is crazy, I know that, but to lose a game like that – it's impossible. There were nearly 1,300 Watford fans here today and I would like to be saying thank you for their support rather than saying sorry, again."
On Friday, Ben Brereton Díaz's first goal of the season sealed a deserved 1-0 win for against at Bramall Lane. The Chile forward, in his third spell on loan with the Blades, struck the only goal in the first half.
