Leeds Defeat West Ham Extending Nuno's Winless Streak to Four

West Ham, under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Leeds United, extending their winless run to four games since Nuno took charge. Early goals by Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon put Leeds in control, and despite a late consolation goal by Mateus Fernandes, West Ham's performance was widely criticized as lackluster and unacceptable. Nuno expressed deep concerns about the team's defensive approach, confidence, and overall performance, acknowledging a tough challenge ahead to reverse the club's fortunes. The team sits second-bottom in the Premier League with just four points from nine matches, their worst start since the 1973-74 season, raising fears of potential relegation. Tactical decisions by Nuno, including playing without a recognized striker and making surprising lineup changes, have been questioned following the poor results. West Ham's captain Jarrod Bowen highlighted the low morale in the dressing room, emphasizing the urgent need for the players to show fight and improve quickly to avoid relegation.
