- West Bromwich Albion won 3-1 at the London Stadium on 31 October 2026, with goals from Felix Horn Myhre (20th minute), Jimmy-Jay Morgan (48th) and Callum Styles (72nd), while Jarrod Bowen replied for the Hammers in the 29th minute.
- West Ham United lost at home for a second straight game, shipping six goals across the two defeats, and slipped to eighth in the Sky Bet Championship — six points off the pace — while their hosts climbed into the top four.
- Nuno Espirito Santo was left facing furious supporters after the final whistle, with West Ham fans also booing the team off at the interval; the club's bid to regain Premier League status had already been undermined by patchy home form and missed last-gasp penalties against Charlton and QPR.
- Isaac Price opened up the Hammers' defence for West Brom's opener, his pass finding Jimmy-Jay Morgan, whose low cross left Felix Horn Myhre unmarked at point-blank range; Price then spooned an eight-yard chance wide moments later.
- Jarrod Bowen collected his seventh goal of the season only after his shot appeared covered by goalkeeper Max O'Leary and was deflected in off the near post by Callum Styles, while O'Leary later kept out Kilman's header from a Bowen corner and Kyle Walker-Peters' long-range effort.
- Mads Hermansen was stranded for West Brom's third when Price's corner was half-cleared to Callum Styles, whose fierce deflected shot from 20 yards gave the West Ham goalkeeper no chance.
- Max Kilman's scything foul on Ousmane Diakite, which earned only a yellow card, fuelled West Ham's early anxiety after they had fallen behind in nine of their previous 15 games; Edvin Austbo's darting run then set up Mohammadou Kante, whose shot was deflected over the top by Jayson Molumby.
Why it matters: West Brom's three points lift them into the top four, while West Ham's promotion bid is already undermined by patchy home form: eighth in the table, six points off the pace, six goals conceded in two straight home defeats, and nine of their previous 15 games started with them behind.
