LEEDS, England (AP) — Nuno Espirito Santo became the first West Ham coach since 2018 to go winless in his first four games as his struggling team showed the same defensive frailties that have plagued it all season in a 2-1 loss to Leeds in the Premier League on Friday.

West Ham United’s horrific run of results in the Premier League this season continued with a 2-1 defeat at Leeds United on Friday, ensuring their worst start in over half a century.

With just four points in eight matches, this is West Ham’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season. In the top-flight, they last had as few as four after eight games in 1988-89 (also four), eventually finishing 19th and being relegated. If the result stays like this, the Hammers will remain 19th, but would fall seven points behind Leeds.
