West Ham United defeat Derby County 3-0

West Ham United secured a 3-0 victory against Derby County, with goals scored by Joel Piroe, Austvø, and Mohamadou Kanté. The win moves the team into eighth place in the league.

Striker Pablo Felipe was absent from the starting lineup due to a calf injury sustained during a warm-up. His omission caused initial confusion among supporters after club footage showed him arriving at the stadium, but manager Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed the injury. Statistics noted that West Ham's win percentage is significantly higher when Felipe starts compared to when he does not, despite his lack of recent goals.
