West Ham United became the first home team to score the opening goal in a game in the Premier League before trailing by two or more goals at half-time since Newcastle United against Tottenham Hotspur at St James Park in October 2021. Callum Wilson played in both games. . The Hammers had now taken nine points from their ten home games in the Premier League under manager Graham Potter (won two) to create a new club competition record; previously ten points under Alan Curbishley and Avram Grant from their first ten home games in the division. . The Irons had now created a new competition record of conceding eight or more goals in their first two games in a season in the Premier League. . Niclas Füllkrug scored in the 17th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
