- Wrexham suffered their heaviest loss under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's ownership, a 6-0 rout at West Ham that surpassed the previous worst — a 5-0 defeat to Stockport County in September 2023.
- West Ham went top of the Championship with the win, their largest margin of victory since September 2018, with Jarrod Bowen and Joël Piroe giving the hosts a 2-0 halftime lead before Mavropanos, Castellanos, Kanté and Solomon added four more after the break.
- Wrexham drew their largest-ever match crowd of 59,712 at London Stadium, eclipsing the previous record of 54,096 who watched them face Liverpool at Anfield in the FA Cup in January 1970.
- Wrexham have managed just one win from their first seven Championship games and sit closer to the relegation zone than the promotion playoff places, a sharp comedown after three straight promotions under their celebrity owners.
- Phil Parkinson had told media ahead of the match that the whole club was looking forward to the occasion, enthusiasm that was extinguished as West Ham ran rampant from the first half onward.
Why it matters: The 6-0 loss crystallizes how stark the gap remains between the Championship's leading side and a Wrexham team now languishing in the bottom half with one win in seven — a sobering reality check after three consecutive promotions and a £20m-plus global brand built on Hollywood ownership.
