West Ham United drew 2-2 with Millwall on Friday, marking their second consecutive draw after a long international break. The Hammers had an opportunity to temporarily move to the top of the league but instead risk falling several places due to the tight standings. Israeli player Manor Solomon started the match, playing for the first time in two weeks following a period with the Israeli national team. He was substituted in the 68th minute, just two minutes before Jarrod Bowen scored the equalizer.
Despite a high completion rate for his passes (25 out of 26), three successful dribbles, and drawing two fouls, Solomon did not register a shot on goal, key pass, or assist according to Opta data. While his ball control was precise, he struggled to create significant scoring chances.
Player ratings for Solomon varied across different publications. West Ham Zone gave him a 4, and Hammers News rated him a 5. However, Claret and Hugh awarded him a 6, one of the highest scores for the team, noting, "He was West Ham's most significant attacking threat for much of the game. He made some excellent dribbles and was involved in almost every positive move the team made in the first half. Following changes made by Nuno Espírito at halftime, he moved to a number 10 position and continued to look dangerous, even though the team still struggled to create clear scoring opportunities."
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham's star player, missed a penalty in the 90th minute, which could have secured a win. West Ham's next match is on Wednesday, an away game against newly promoted Lincoln.
