West Ham crush nine-man Lincoln in Championship
Third-placed Hammers ended a run of draws in their previous two matches with a 6-0 win, underlining their promotion credentials.
West Ham secured a convincing 6-0 victory over nine-man Lincoln at Sincil Bank Stadium on Wednesday, further bolstering their promotion hopes in the Championship. The Hammers had suffered draws against Millwall and QPR in their previous two matches. However, they snapped that losing streak with a dominant performance. Lincoln's Tom Hamer and Conor McGrandles received red cards in the third and 23rd minutes, respectively.
Konstantinos Mavropanos put West Ham ahead in the 45th minute, and Edvin Austbo, Jarrod Bowen, Pablo, and Tomas Soucek all found the back of the net, with Soucek scoring twice. The victory left West Ham four points behind leaders Swansea, who won 1-0 at Millwall on Tuesday. Southampton also won 1-0 away against Norwich, while Portsmouth defeated 10-man Sheffield United 3-2.
Despite starting the season with a four-point deduction, Southampton are now in seventh place, while Norwich remains in 20th.
