Israeli winger Manor Solomon scored his first goal for West Ham in their opening Championship match against Burnley on August 16, 2026. Solomon found the net in the 72nd minute, giving West Ham a temporary lead after Max Kilman had opened the scoring with a header from a Jarrod Bowen corner. However, West Ham settled for a disappointing 2-2 draw after Burnley staged a dramatic comeback. Zian Fleming scored twice for Burnley, including a late equalizer from the penalty spot in stoppage time (90+2). Solomon was substituted in the 89th minute.
Solomon had just completed his transfer to West Ham the previous week and was immediately included in the starting lineup for the club’s first game of the season. West Ham, relegated from the Premier League last season, aims to return to the top flight, with Solomon expected to be a key player following his role in Leeds United’s promotion campaign last year.
Meanwhile, Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz and Southampton began their 2026/27 Championship season with a 2-1 loss to Watford. Southampton started the season with a four-point deduction due to a spying scandal from the previous season but remain among the favorites for promotion. Watford took an early lead through Iker Bravo, doubled by Amin Nabizadeh before Kyle Larin scored for Southampton in the second half. Peretz made several saves but could not prevent the defeat. After the match, Peretz expressed optimism about learning from the loss and focusing on the remaining 45 games of the season.
