West Ham rout among 'lowest points' for Wrexham boss
Manager Phil Parkinson is downbeat after Wrexham suffer their heaviest league defeat for more than 22 years at London Stadium.
London, September 12 — Jared Bowen opened the scoring for West Ham in their 6-0 victory over Wrexham, propelling the team back to the top of the Championship table. West Ham had been displaced from the top spot by West Brom, who secured a 1-0 win against Derby thanks to an Aune Heggebo goal, despite playing with 10 men following Brayann Pereira's red card.
Bowen, who has scored six goals this season, put West Ham ahead in the 28th minute with a well-placed header from Morato's low cross. Joel Piroe doubled the lead three minutes later with a selfless pass from Argentina's Taty Castellanos. The game effectively ended three minutes after halftime when Greece's Konstantinos Mavropanos headed in a corner delivered by Bowen.
Castellanos extended West Ham's lead with a second goal from a pass by Kyle Walker-Peters. Substitute Mohamadou Kante scored the final goal of the match, playing in a pass from Walker-Peters. West Brom remains in contention to reclaim the top spot with a victory against QPR on Saturday, but would need to win by an improbable scoreline to overtake West Ham.
QPR, Charlton, and Swansea could also overtake West Ham, but would require unlikely scorelines to do so.
