League Cup: Premier League powerhouses are in crisis, players and fans clash after three consecutive losses

Football

West Ham United lost to Wolves 2-3 in the League Cup and was eliminated. This defeat further escalated the team's already severe crisis. What is even more shocking is that after the game, a fierce confrontation between players and fans broke out.

A video that was widely circulated on the scene showed that after the game, West Ham United striker Jarrod Bowen walked towards the visiting stands area of ​​the Wolves' home court, Molyneux Stadium, and seemed to want to face the fans' reactions. However, he was not encouraged, but instead received a harsh boo and sharp criticism. The England international, who was out of control, raised his fingers on the spot and fought back angrily. The scene was once tense, and finally it was calmed down with the dissuasion of his teammates and club staff.

The process of this game is also full of drama. As the first half approached, Wolves scored first with Joao Gomez. The situation changed suddenly in the second half, and West Ham United saw hope at one point: Thomas Saucek headed the ball to equalize the score, and then Lucas Paqueta made a long shot, helping the team take the lead 2-1. But the final stage of the game changed suddenly. In the 82nd and 84th minutes, Jorgen Strand Larson scored two goals in a row. The Wolves completed the reversal in just two minutes and eliminated West Ham United.

This loss puts coach Porter under tremendous pressure. Since taking office in January this year, Porter has led the team to only 5 wins and 21 losses, with a winning rate as low as 23.8%, and the results are far from expectations. Previously, West Ham United lost 0-3 to Sunderland in the Premier League opening game, and then was swept by Chelsea 1-5 at home.

Currently, West Ham United ranks at the bottom of the Premier League standings and is in jeopardy. This weekend, they will face a life-and-death battle against Nottingham Forest at home. If it loses again, Porter's position as coach will be in danger. What's even more serious is that after the international game, the team will face strong opponents such as Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Everton and Arsenal one after another, and the schedule is extremely difficult. There is not much time left for Porter.
