Manor Solomon Completes Full Match in West Ham's Disappointing Home Loss to Charlton
West Ham suffered a 2-1 defeat to Charlton in their home debut of the Championship season on August 22, 2026, following a 2-2 draw in their opener against Burnley. Manor Solomon, who scored in the opening match, played the entire 90 minutes in his first home game. During the match, Solomon had one shot on goal and executed a notable play in the first half where he evaded two defenders before being stopped by a defender's header.
Solomon completed 53 out of 57 passes, showing solid ball control. However, English media rated his performance modestly, with scores of 5 out of 10 from both Read West Ham and Claret and Hugh. Critics noted that Solomon was lively but struggled to replicate the impact of his debut game and faced double marking from the opposition, limiting his effectiveness. West Ham was criticized for lacking offensive sharpness, especially after conceding an early goal.
The team and Solomon will look to improve their attacking performance in upcoming matches as they aim to recover from this early setback in the Championship season.
