LONDON (Reuters) – West Ham United claimed their first home win in the Premier League under Julen Lopetegui as they beat promoted Ipswich Town 4-1 at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Michail Antonio swept the Hammers in front inside the opening minute, but their lead did not last long with Liam Delap firing Ipswich’s equaliser after six minutes.
Ipswich looked capable of a first Premier League win until Mohammed Kudus put West Ham back in front just before halftime after Antonio’s header bounced down off the crossbar.
Jarrod Bowen slotted West Ham’s third in the 49th minute and the winger then set up Lucas Paqueta 20 minutes later to put the game out of Ipswich’s reach.
West Ham, who ended a four-game winless streak in the Premier League, have eight points from seven games while Ipswich have four points and are just above the relegation zone.
