Charlton Athletic, who won their first match of the season 2-1 against Derby County, dominated the match from the start. Lloyd Jones scored for Charlton after just seven minutes, giving his team an early lead. Charlton's pressure paid off again in the second half, with Tyreece Campbell scoring after a mistake by West Ham's defense. The visitors were 2-0 up before Piroe, who has joined West Ham on loan from Leeds United, scored a consolation goal in the 85th minute. Despite this, West Ham were unable to mount a comeback and suffered their second straight loss in the Championship.
West Ham's poor start to the season is a concern for the team, who were relegated from the Premier League last season. Their 2-2 draw against Burnley in their first match of the season was not enough to ease the pressure, and their loss to Charlton has left them in 17th place in the Championship table. Charlton, on the other hand, are sitting in second place after their impressive win.
West Ham's next match is against Huddersfield Town, a team that is also struggling in the Championship. The match will take place on Saturday and will be a crucial test for West Ham's ability to turn their season around.
