West Ham dominate Lincoln 6-0 with two red cards

West Ham delivered a commanding 6-0 victory over nine-man Lincoln in the Championship, securing a dominant win at the ProAmpac Stadium ^[2]. The hosts were reduced to nine men inside the first half-hour after Tom Hamer was sent off just three minutes in, followed by Conor McGrandles’ dismissal 20 minutes later for a second yellow. Konstantinos Mavropanos opened the scoring for West Ham on the stroke of half-time, capitalising on the numerical advantage.

The second half saw West Ham take full control, with Edvin Austbø, Jarrod Bowen, Pablo, and Tomas Soucek adding further goals, the latter completing a brace ^[2]. Lincoln struggled to mount any meaningful resistance, as the visitors’ attacking momentum was relentless.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Portsmouth fought back to beat 10-man Sheffield United 3-2 at Fratton Park, with Ebou Adams scoring the 89th-minute winner after the hosts had squandered a 2-0 lead ^[2]. Japhet Tanganga and Tom Cannon had equalised, but Adams’ late intervention secured Portsmouth’s third win of the season.

Southampton maintained their strong start to the season with a 1-0 away victory over Norwich, thanks to Kuryu Matsuki’s early second-half goal ^[2]. The win marks their second consecutive 1-0 triumph, despite starting the campaign with a four-point deduction.

QPR also continued their strong form with a 4-1 home win over Derby, with Alfie Lloyd, Nicolas Madsen (penalty), Harvey Vale, and Paul Smyth on the scoresheet, while Lars-Jørgen Salvesen netted a late consolation ^[2].
