West Ham fightback salvages Cardiff draw on Parker's bow
LONDON: West Ham came from 3-0 down at half-time to rescue a 3-3 draw at Cardiff on the day Scott Parker was appointed as manager, while Championship leaders Middlesbrough lost 2-0 at Wrexham.
On the day Scott Parker was appointed as the new manager, West Ham staged a remarkable comeback to secure a thrilling 3-3 draw against Cardiff City. The match began with Cardiff City leading 3-0 at halftime, thanks to a hat-trick from Jack Moylan, who scored three stunning goals. Irish international striker Moylan opened the scoring, followed by a penalty and a header from a corner.
West Ham manager Parker and his team came back strongly in the second half, with Jarrod Bowen setting up Divine Mukasa, and Arne Engels netting his first goal since a big-money move from Celtic. Max Kilman added a late equalizer to the score, and both teams were left to settle for a point in the end. The result leaves West Ham in eighth place, just five points behind the league leaders, while Middlesbrough's loss marks their first defeat since August.
Wrexham, supported by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, managed to secure their second win in six games, climbing to 16th position. Middlesbrough's loss was largely attributed to the absence of their top goalscorer, Will Lankshear, who was injured. Sean Neave scored twice in the final 10 minutes as Wolves secured a 2-1 win against Bristol City, taking them up to second place in the league, just a point behind Middlesbrough.
