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 Championship season opener on August 16, 2026. The Israeli winger, who was officially signed by West Ham just last week, started the match and showcased his high-level skills throughout the game, including multiple dribbles and a near assist.

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. Despite an early goal by Max Kilman in the 10th minute, West Ham could not maintain their lead as Burnley's Zian Fleming scored twice late in the match to secure the draw.

The game marked Solomon's return to English football and demonstrated his comfort and quality on the pitch. Last season, Solomon finished with impressive statistics of 12 goals and 10 assists in the Championship. With this strong start, he aims to help West Ham secure promotion to the Premier League next season.
