West Ham ran away with a 6-0 Championship win over Wrexham FC, scoring twice before half-time and four more after the restart as the visitors never found a reply.

Match Summary

Neither side had a goal to show for the opening spell. West Ham still found the first puncture when Jarrod Bowen finished in the 28th minute, Felipe Morato with the assist. Joel Piroe doubled the lead in the 37th minute, Taty Castellanos laying it on, and the hosts went in two goals up.

The second half opened with another blow. Konstantinos Mavropanos scored in the 48th minute, Jarrod Bowen turning provider this time, and any hope of a Wrexham recovery faded. Taty Castellanos added a fourth in the 63rd minute, Kyle Walker-Peters involved. Mohamadou Kante made it five in the 76th minute from Manor Solomon's pass, and Solomon finished the scoring himself in the 82nd minute, Walker-Peters assisting again.

Key Moments

Bowen's opener mattered because the first half-hour had stayed level. Once West Ham led, Wrexham had to chase, and the home side's finishing did the rest.

The third goal so soon after the restart stretched the lead beyond a single-score game and ended the idea of a comeback. Extra goals after that were West Ham taking chances rather than answering pressure.

Kyle Walker-Peters supplied two assists, for Castellanos and then Solomon, showing how the wide areas kept creating after the result was settled. Oliver Scarles collected a late yellow, the only card of the match.

Match Statistics

The scoreline was lopsided even though the ball was shared almost equally, West Ham holding 51 percent possession to Wrexham's 49. The gap was in the final third. West Ham took 19 shots and put nine on target, while Wrexham managed six attempts and only one on target. Wrexham won the corners 6-3, but that set-piece edge never translated. West Ham picked up the sole yellow card, and there were no reds.

What the Result Means

West Ham sit second in the Championship after six matches, on 11 points with a goal difference of plus five. Their last five games have brought three wins, one draw and one loss. Wrexham are 14th, with seven points from six games and a goal difference of plus two, and they have one win, three draws and one loss in their last five. Four points separate the sides.
