London Stadium lapse for the Hammers : Picture by David Rake West Ham's second home defeat in a row has taken the wind out of their promotion sails - casting doubts on whether Nuno Espirito Santo is the right man to guide them back to the Prem. They followed up last week's 3-2 loss to Southampton with another three goal concession - West Brom winning 3-1 at the London Stadium. The Irons have dropped to eighth in the table. Jarrod Bowen cancelled out a goal from Felix Horn My

Loftus Road was buzzing on Saturday as Rangers ran riot Richard Kone's star turn had QPR historians thumbing through their record books as the men from W12 came up with a statement win at Loftus Road. The striker scored a hat-trick inside the first 16 minutes to blow away high-riding Swansea City, while Jimmy Dunne added two more to make it a miserable visit for the Welshmen. It is thought to be the third quickest hat-trick from the start of a match in EFL history and the fas

And 'Come On' they certainly did A few days on from their London Stadium draw, both QPR and West Ham cut loose in style to underline their respective promotion credentials on Wednesday night. QPR emphatically saw off Derby County at Loftus Road (4-1) to move up to fifth place in the table while the Hammers hit six for the second time this season - taking advantage of Lincoln City having two players sent off by the 23rd minute to run out 6-0 winners at Sincil Bank. The Hoops r

A lack of experienced options from the bench ultimately cost Millwall a famous win against bitter foes West Ham in the Docklands derby, Alex Neil has said. The Lions manager says the surrendering of a 2-0 lead to the Hammers in Saturday lunchtime's thrilling 2-2 draw came down to increasing fatigue and an inability to be able to call upon some key injured players to freshen up the play and help protect the lead. There was no Josh Coburn, Casper de Norre, Mihailo Ivanovic or R

Not quite : Picture by @YTJourno Championship Millwall (2) 2 Taylor 16, Neghli 45+3 West Ham United (0) 2 Kante 74, Mavraponos 80 Kante s/o 89 Every tackle cheered to the rafters. Every contact a prompt for howls of protest. Every mistake from the opposition greeted with cheers of derision. Welcome to the Den on derby day against the team Lions fans hate more than any other foe. The Hammers were caught in a first-half storm that all-but crush

The Den prepares : Picture by @YTJourno League Cup Third Round Millwall (0) 0 Newcastle United (0) 1 Willock 81 Sometimes you don't need a ton of goals for a thriller. A solitary Joe Willock goal with about 10 minutes to play was just enough to see the Premier League boys overcome the Lions in a rip-roaring encounter in which Millwall filled their fans with pride. Theirs was a great effort to contain and aim for a swift break or two and set

The Hammers were on song ; Picture @CapitalFootballUK Having swept to the top of the table with three wins out of three, Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic travelled to Stoke City full of optimism, but a chastening first 45 minutes saw them well and truly humbled. Two goals from Justin Devenny, a deadline signing from Crystal Palace, one from Ethan Galbraith and another from George Hirst gave the Potters a 4-0 half-time lead. The Addicks did well to avoid further embarrassment a

Table Toppers It may not have been that spectacular, but Charlton Athletic fans are not complaining. Karlan Grant's 56th minute strike was enough to beat Preston 1-0 at the Valley on Sunday to make it an unexpectedly perfect start to this new Championship season for Nathan Jones' men. That made it three wins out of three for the Addicks, who are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the division. It once again owed much to a solid defence, with keeper Arthur Okonkwo hav

One undoubtedly significant element of Millwall's success in the Championship last season was their excellent away form and adventurous approach on the road - and they are at it again. No-one bettered the 11 wins they managed away from the Den in the league last term - not even champions Coven
