Manor Solomon Scores on West Ham Debut in Championship Opener

Manor Solomon made an immediate impact in his debut for West Ham United, scoring his first goal for the club in a 2-2 draw against Burnley in the opening round of the English Championship on August 16, 2026. The Israeli winger, who was officially signed by West Ham just last week, started the match and showcased impressive skills, including multiple dribbles and near assists, demonstrating his comfort in British football.

Solomon's goal came in the 73rd minute following a swift run and cross from teammate Kante on the right flank, which Solomon converted from close range to put West Ham ahead 2-0. Earlier, Max Kilman had opened the scoring in the 10th minute. However, Burnley’s Zian Fleming scored twice late in the game to secure a dramatic 2-2 draw.

Despite the draw, Solomon’s performance offers optimism for West Ham fans as he continues his return to English football. Last season in the Championship, Solomon recorded an impressive 12 goals and 10 assists. With the club aiming for promotion, Solomon’s early contribution signals his intent to succeed in the upcoming Premier League season.
