West Ham fightback salvages Cardiff draw on Parker’s bow
The Hammers fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 as Scott Parker was confirmed as Nuno Espirito Santo's successor hours before the trip to Wales.
West Ham staged a dramatic comeback to secure a 3-3 draw against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium, marking an important victory for the team just as Scott Parker was appointed as their new manager.
The match saw Cardiff dominating the first half, with Irish striker Jack Moylan scoring a hat-trick - netting the opening goal, converting a penalty, and heading in a third from a corner. Welsh club manager Nuno Espirito Santo was reportedly stunned by Moylan's performance, but West Ham refused to be outmatched.
In the second half, West Ham's Divine Mukasa received assistance from Jarrod Bowen to level the score, followed by Arne Engels who scored his first goal for the club in a match after joining from Celtic. The equalizer came eight minutes from full-time thanks to another assist from Bowen, as both teams were forced to settle for a draw.
The draw keeps West Ham in eighth position, just five points behind the league leaders, despite Middlesbrough suffering their first defeat of the season since August. Meanwhile, Wrexham showed improvement by climbing to 16th place in the table, securing their second win in six games.
Elsewhere, Championship leaders Middlesbrough lost 2-0 to Wrexham, missing out on the league's top spot due to Will Lankshear's absence due to injury. Newcastle loanee Sean Neave scored twice in the final 10 minutes to secure a 2-1 win for Wolves against Bristol City, propelling Wolves to second place in the table.
