Arrival of Paco Jémez revolutionizes West Ham United
The effect Paco Jemez It’s real in the West Ham United. Two games with the Spaniard on the bench of Portuguese coach Nuno Espirito Santo and two victories. The last one, this Saturday against Sunderland (3-1) to leave the ‘Hammers’ two points away from safety.
The London team, which had not won in the Premier League since November 8 before Jémez’s arrival, has two consecutive wins, against Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland, and is beginning to think that saving itself is more than possible.
In a fantastic first half, they left the game sealed. Crysencio Summerville, with a header, Jarrod Bowen, from a penalty, and Mateus Fernandes, with a shot into the top corner from outside the area, made victory a reality for the ‘Hammers’, who relaxed in the second 45 minutes and allowed Sunderland to have a chance to get back on track.
The ‘Black Cats’ pulled one back with a header from Brian Brobbey and had a shot hit the crossbar by Luke O’Nien in which they missed the chance to come back.
In the last minutes, Fernandes hit another ball against the woodwork before the final whistle that unleashed joy in a London Stadium that is already seeing less rain.
With these two wins in a row, West Ham remains third from bottom, but Nottingham Forest, who has yet to play, is only two points ahead of them. Sunderland is losing ground in the fight for Europe and is ninth with 33 points.
