Solomon Starts as West Ham Secures 2-0 Victory Over Derby County
Israeli footballer Manor Solomon started for West Ham United in their 2-0 victory against Derby County on September 5, 2026. The win marked West Ham's second consecutive league victory, bringing their total points to eight and placing them in the top eight of the league standings.
West Ham took an early lead when Jarrod Bowen's cross found Tatty Castellanos, who headed the ball to Joel Piroe for the opening goal. This goal remained the only score for a significant portion of the match, ultimately securing the win for the home team.
Solomon played for 77 minutes, delivering a performance that, while not spectacular, included two key passes, one shot with an expected goals (xG) of 0.24, and four successful dribbles out of five attempts. He received an average rating of 7.5 for his efforts.
This match followed an earlier Championship game where Daniel Peretz and Southampton failed to secure three points. The article notes that Solomon and fellow Israeli Liel Abada were the other Israeli representatives playing on this day.
