West Ham secured their first home victory of the Premier League season with a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town. Michail Antonio scored just 48 seconds into the match at London Stadium. However, Ipswich's Liam Delap equalised five minutes later. Despite this, West Ham regained control and Mohammed Kudus nearly scored in the 37th minute, hitting the post with a header.

Kudus eventually restored West Ham's lead just before half-time. After the break, captain Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta added to the scoreline, ensuring a comprehensive win for the hosts. This victory ended West Ham's poor run of form in September, where they failed to secure any wins.

For Ipswich Town, managed by Kieran McKenna, this defeat leaves them winless and precariously positioned just one point above the relegation zone in 17th place. Meanwhile, West Ham climbed to 12th in the league standings after this triumph.

Antonio's goal was West Ham's fastest in Premier League history since 2006-07. Jarrod Bowen both scored and assisted during the match for the eighth time in his Premier League career. Since joining West Ham in February 2020, only five players have achieved this feat more often than Bowen.

Mohammed Kudus scored his first league goal of the season with his 18th attempt. Before this match, only Bruno Fernandes had more shots without scoring in the current Premier League season than Kudus.

This victory not only boosts West Ham's position but also highlights their potential as they look to build momentum in upcoming matches. The team's performance was a testament to their resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks.
