Nuno Espirito Santo says the atmosphere at the London Stadium is a big advantage to West Ham after his team's thumping win over Wrexham.
A crowd of 59,712 watched the Hammers beat the Welsh side 6-0 as they returned to the top of the Championship.
Head coach Nuno said Friday's result was not any kind of statement or marker, but he did think playing in front of such a big crowd in the second tier was a plus for his players.
"We just focus on ourselves and realise London Stadium is a big strength that we have, to try to take advantage of 60,000 fans who give us so much that we have to try to give back," he told BBC Radio London.
The stadium atmosphere has come under scrutiny, with distance between the pitch and the stands being very different to the cramped, hostile surroundings of their old Upton Park ground.

It's been roughly three months since the New York Knicks became champions of the basketball world. For the first time in 53 years, and after long stretches of misery, the franchise finally reached the pinnacle of success, but the journey was not easy.
In fact, throughout the playoffs, the Knicks found themselves down big on several occasions, only to mount amazing comebacks that defined their run. Recently, Knicks swingman Mikal Bridges spoke about the comebacks and the conditions that made it possible to survive overwhelming odds.
"The Cavs series, that Game 1, being down 22 in the 4th. Last year in the playoffs, being down a lot," said Bridges in a chat with Men's Health. "We had opportunities where we had been in the same situations and succeeded. It's having that faith of being here before. Obviously, it's different being in the Finals than any other playoff series, but it's still just another game. It's just having that belief and taking it one possession at a time; we've been here before, we've done it before. Ain't gonna get it back in one possession, still a lot of time left. A lot of us have been in the league for a long time, and we know in this day and age, with the fast pace and a lot of threes, that even down 27 points at halftime, you still have a lot of time. And being at home, having the crowd behind your back, it's gonna put pressure on them."
The Knicks went 53-29 in the 2025-26 season, and most critics had them a tier below the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Pistons in the East. In the playoffs, however, the Knicks dominated the field, going 16-3 in an impressive performance. Along the way, they faced fierce resistance, overcoming a 22-point deficit in the opening game against the Cavaliers.
Their unlikeliest win, however, was in the Finals. In Game 4 of the series, the Knicks went down by as much as 29 points, but somehow came back and won (107-106) off a buzzer-beater from OG Anunoby. It seemed impossible at the time, but the Knicks always felt that victory was within reach.

Among the selection of young players that Manchester City sent out on loan for the 2026-27 season, Divine Mukasa joined West Ham. Mukasa joined the Hammers on a season-long loan. The young attacking midfielder had made three appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo's side before West Ham's Championship fixture against Wolves last night at the London Stadium. By the time that match ended, Mukasa had exploded into life as he scored a spectacular brace to help his team pick up a valuable 4-2 win over Wolves.
West Ham picked up three precious points against Wolverhampton with a 4-2 win at the London Stadium last night. The Hammers weren't at their best, but they came away from the match with a precious three points. Divine Mukasa was the star of the show for West Ham as his brace and overall performance helped inspire his team to victory.
Divine Mukasa opened the scoring for West Ham in the 33rd minute of last night's match. His first goal can only be described as a wonder strike. Mukasa received possession around 25 yards out from goal. He took two touches to steady himself to shoot. Mukasa unleashed an absolute rocket with his right foot which thundered in off the cross bar to give Wolves keeper José St no hope of making a save. Divine Mukasa's goal was one which fully displayed his undoubted talent and poise.
Divine Mukasa would add his second goal of the night in the 53rd minute. Mukasa received the ball just inside the Wolves penalty. He cut inside onto his left foot and his shot took a deflection before hitting the back of the net. Mukasa's second goal of last night's match was a fitting reward for a fine overall display from him.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was thrilled with Divine Mukasa's all-round display against Wolves. The West Ham manager was thrilled with Mukasa's work out of possession, his passing and the positions he took up in midfield. He explained after Mukasa starred at the London Stadium last night: "I'm delighted, not only for the goals but the way he played, the positions he took in the middle of the park. He is a young player with a lot of things to improve but I'm delighted to have him."

The former Barcelona and Toulouse centre-back has made 54 appearances for the Hammers since his move to London but did not feature for Nuno Espirito Santo's side this season.

When you win an NBA championship, you get a summer to puff up your chest and talk your talk. In the final month of the offseason, the New York Knicks are going through that. After a mundane 53-29 regular season, they had one of the most dominant playoff runs ever.
The Knicks went a sizzling 16-3. That included a historic 13-game winning streak that featured blowout wins left and right. Everything clicked for New York. Jalen Brunson penciled his name in basketball lore. Karl-Anthony Towns had the last laugh with all his haters. And OG Anunoby is basically a New York deity thanks to his Game 4 tip-in win.
Now, Knicks fans are getting daring with their takes. That's what happens when you're sitting on the NBA throne. You've earned the right to say the most outlandish things ever and make them somewhat plausible. In recent days, we've seen that with Brunson being better than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
That 100-degree opinion has made the rounds on social media in recent days. Sports media personalities like Max Kellerman and Shannon Sharpe explained their reasoning recently for why Brunson's NBA championship ring has helped him usurp Gilgeous-Alexander in the league rankings.
Here's what both had to say:

The Baltimore Ravens released their final unofficial depth chart of the preseason ahead of Friday night's matchup against the Washington Commanders. The chart provides another look at Baltimore's roster hierarchy before the team concludes the preseason and reduces its roster to 53 players by 6 p.m. Sunday. It also confirms that at least two starting competitions remain unresolved.
Unofficial depth charts are compiled by the communications department and should not be treated as final roster decisions. They can, however, reveal how players are grouped and which competitions remain open.
Here are seven takeaways from Baltimore's latest depth chart.
Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic share the starting center position with an "or" designation. The competition became more significant after Danny Pinter suffered a torn patellar tendon during a joint practice with Minnesota. Pinter remains listed fourth on the depth chart but is expected to miss the season. Gwyn's athleticism and familiarity with offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford have helped him earn first-team work. Pocic offers considerably more NFL experience and has returned to game action after recovering from an Achilles injury.
Wednesday's joint practice and the preseason finale provide the final major evaluation opportunities. Baltimore needs the winner to develop communication and timing with Lamar Jackson before Week 1.

After earning a cameo in the Coppa Italia defeat to Mantova, Davide Frattesi is expected to make his full Lazio debut against Bologna.
The Biancocelesti travelled to Emilia-Romagna for their first match of the Serie A campaign. The contest will take place on Monday, 18:30 local time. Gennaro Gattuso's squad has been boosted by the returns of Alessio Romagnoli, Gustav Isaksen, and Nuno Tavares, while Danilo Cataldi, Samuel Gigot, Patric, and new signing Josip Sutalo are unavailable.
According to the most reliable sources in the Italian media, Frattesi will earn his first start, dropping Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to the bench. The Nigerian was arguably the best of a poor bunch against Mantova, but he will be the one to make way, as Gattuso is unlikely to chop Kenneth Taylor at this early stage of the season, despite his unconvincing summer displays.
Nicolo Rovella is the only natural option for the Regista role, while the backline should remain intact, with Adam Marusic, Danilho Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard, and Alfonso Pedraza starting in front of Christos Mandas.
According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Matteo Cancellieri will keep his place in the attacking trident alongside Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni. On the other hand, Sky Sport Italia believes Tijjani Noslin will replace the Italian winger on the right flank.

Paris Saint-Germain enter the season with the expectation that they should lift their sixth Ligue 1 ******* le in a row. However, this week hasn't been ideal preparation for the campaign. On Sunday, a defeat to RC Lens in the Trophée des Champions was followed by the news that the Parc des Princes was unusable for their opening game against Stade de Rennais, meaning this match would have to take place in Rennes.
Luis Enrique would be without Nuno Mendes for this game due to his suspension after he picked up a red card in the loss to Lens. This meant that summer signing Lucas Digne would be back in the starting line-up for tonight.
L'Équipe expects that Digne will be alone among the new recruits, with the rest of the high-profile summer signings: Maghnes Akliouche, Mika Godts, and Ferran Torres on the bench.

PSG kick off their Ligue 1 campaign away at Rennes on Sunday at Roazhon Park.
The reigning champions arrive after mixed early results. PSG began August on a high by winning the UEFA Super Cup, beating Aston Villa 2–1, but their momentum stalled with a 1–0 loss to RC Lens in the Trophée des Champions. Over their last five games the team has recorded two wins, two draws and one defeat, leaving manager Luis Enrique keen to find more consistency in domestic play.
Enrique starts the **** le defence with a deep and mostly fit squad, though he must adapt tactically because of an early suspension in defence.
Left-back Nuno Mendes is sidelined after receiving a red card in the Trophée des Champions, so new signing Lucas Digne is expected to step in.
Captain Marquinhos returns to the starting lineup to lead the defence alongside Willian Pacho.

OG Anunoby is a Knicks legend. Etched forever in franchise lore and the hearts of fans. In the critical Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the 29-point comeback against the Spurs that was the stuff of legend and set the course of the Finals, Anunoby scored 33 points, including the game-winning tip-in. NBC Sports spoke to Anunoby this week.
Editor's note: OG Anunoby discussed several topics, including his contributions to ending the New York Knicks' 53-year ***** le drought, in an interview through his partnership with Royal Canin and VCA Animal Hospitals. Anunoby, a cat lover, has worked with the organizations to raise awareness for rescue cats available for adoption, and to donate to shelters across the country. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
NBCSports.com: We saw the celebration in the streets of New York, which I think might still be going on, and we also saw the celebration with the champagne spraying in the locker room. We kind of saw you accidentally go live [on Instagram in that moment]. Were you surprised when you went live, like how viral that went? And more importantly, did your phone survive all the champagne spray?
Anunoby: Yeah, my phone ended up being all good. Was I surprised that it went viral? Kind of. I mean, there's a lot of people in it in like a short time in the live. Yeah, I don't go live like ever, I'm not good at that. But now I talked to some people, taught me how to go live. So next time it won't go like that.
NBCSports.com: Obviously, it was a wild summer with the parade and everything in New York, but you guys were able to get together for Karl-Anthony Towns' wedding. How was the second biggest wedding of the year, and how was it being able to get together with your teammates, kind of more out of that spotlight?

OG Anunoby is focused on helping the Knicks repeat as champions in the 2026-27 season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As one of the most important players in the New York Knicks' championship run, OG Anunoby is a cemented legend in the Big Apple. His game-winning tip-in in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals will be one of the most legendary moments in franchise history.
He is a two-time champion, as he was part of the Toronto Raptors' **** le-winning team back in 2019. Anunoby seems ready to defend the **** le with his Knicks teammates. It will be quite challenging, but it seems everyone on the Knicks is locked in on that goal.
Playing for the Knicks is a tough job because of the pressure of being on one of the league's biggest teams. Anunoby had no problems living up to those expectations as a crucial player for the Knicks, and he did that for years playing for the Raptors.
This time around, Anunoby actually got to play a role in the championship run, as he was injured during the 2019 Playoffs when the Raptors won it. Anunoby proved that he is one of the league's premier wings, as he played elite defense and he was always there when the Knicks needed him on offense.

You've said in other interviews that you've gotten over your iconic tip-in shot in Game 4 in the Finals. Why are you able to think that way, knowing what it meant for that game, the series and the reaction it sparked among your teammates and fans? Anunoby: "I'm not over it as if I don't care about it. It's more about that I'm ready for the next season. It was fun winning a championship. It was amazing. But we all want to do it again. So it's about getting ready to start the next season. Hopefully we can do it again."

In light of your success last season and winning the championship, how are you trying to build off of that this offseason with your game? Anunoby: "It's to keep improving and to keep getting better and better. Our goal is the same: to win the championship next season. That's everyone's goal. But as far as me, it's about getting better. It's a feel thing. I think you can feel when you've improved. I think you know when you improve. Each year, I've felt that I've improved. So it's about doing the same things that I've always done and not worrying about anyone else. I'm just worrying about myself and how I can do the best for myself and for my team."

Nuno Espirito Santo is at the London Stadium. Real Sociedad are close to reaching a full agreement to sign West Ham United defensive midfielder Edson Alvarez, according to transfer reporter Matteo Moretto.
Direct talks between the Spanish club and the 28-year-old Mexican international have progressed significantly in recent days.
Alvarez has demonstrated his commitment to the transfer by agreeing to a significant wage reduction to fit within Real Sociedad's salary structure. He has also formally requested that West Ham sanction his departure.
The defensive midfielder, who moved to the London Stadium from Ajax in 2023 for an initial £32 million, is eager to launch a new chapter in La Liga, with his role at West Ham increasingly uncertain due to the club's ongoing squad rebuild.
Alvarez was left out of West Ham's squad for their Championship opener against Burnley, further signalling that his departure is imminent.

LENS, France (AP) — Florian Thauvin scored as 10-man Lens stunned Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to win the French Super Cup for the first time on Sunday.
Thauvin found the net in the 32nd minute and Lens held on for the victory despite playing a man down from the 39th after Kyllian Antonio was sent off for a hard foul.
Lens, the French Cup winner, was runner-up to PSG in the French league last season, ending six points behind its rival.
PSG, trying to win its fifth consecutive French Super Cup, saw Nuno Mendes ejected in the 87th.
PSG had defeated Aston Villa 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

Lens stunned Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 victory in the Trophée des Champions, securing their first silverware of the new domestic campaign despite playing much of the contest with 10 men.
PSG started on the front foot and controlled the ball, but Lens gradually grew into the contest. The hosts then struck against the run of play in the 32nd minute, with Florian Thauvin arriving at the far post to convert Matthieu Udol's delivery.
Lens' advantage was short on numbers, however, as Kyllian Antonio was dismissed six minutes before the interval for a dangerous challenge on Maghnes Akliouche. PSG almost took advantage immediately, but Désiré Doué saw his effort come back off the crossbar.
Luis Enrique's side continued to dominate possession after the restart but struggled to turn it into clear openings. Ousmane Dembélé tested Robin Risser, while Nuno Mendes also went close from distance as Lens remained disciplined.
The Parisians' hopes of finding a late leveller suffered another blow when Mendes was shown a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident involving Michal Skoras in the closing stages.

Lens overcame a first-half red card for defender Kyllian Antonio to battle to a 1-0 win over Paris St Germain in the Trophée des Champions at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Captain Florian Thauvin had given Lens, who won the Coupe de France for the first time last season, the lead against the run of play in the 32nd minute.
Antonio was then shown a straight red card after his late challenge on Maghnes Akliouche six minutes before the break.
European champions PSG – who lifted the Super Cup on Wednesday night after victory against Aston Vila in Salzburg – saw a late equalizer from Fabian Ruiz ruled out for offside before substitute Nuno Mendes was also sent off with four minutes left for lashing out at Michal Skoras.

Lazio full-back Nuno Tavares stirred some controversy with his latest social media move, while Porto are obeserving his situation closely.
The 26-year-old has been playing his football in Rome since making the move from ****** nal in the summer of 2024. The Portuguese international enjoyed a stellar start to his Lazio stint, before being hampered by injuries. Last season, he was omitted from Maurizio Sarri's starting lineup after making costly blunders, only to be restored later in the campaign.
This summer, the Biancocelesti acquired the services of Alfonso Pedraza on a free transfer. The 30-year-old Spaniard has done enough in pre-season to convince Gennaro Gattuso to grant him a starting role, especially with Tavares struggling with another muscle injury. Therefore, many feel this is the right time for the club to cash in on the Lisbon native.
As noted by several sources, including La Lazio Siamo Noi, Tavares has deleted every post related to Lazio on his Instagram account. Many observers believe this could be a sign of dissatisfaction with his status at the club, or a come-and-get-me plea to his suitors.
As it happens, Italian football journalist Matteo Moretto is reporting Porto's interest in the wantaway full-back. The Portuguese giants have already been linked with the player on a few occasions earlier in the summer. Moreover, recent rumours claimed Lazio could swap him with AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, but the two clubs have yet to embark on serious talks.

Changes at Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho have extended beyond the players and into the coaching setup, with Luis Llopis officially bringing his long ******* ociation with the club to an end.
The goalkeeping coach confirmed his departure through a message on Instagram, closing a chapter that stretches back more than two decades.
Notably, Llopis has worked with several generations of Real Madrid players and managers, becoming a familiar and highly respected figure behind the scenes.
His exit, however, is not believed to be linked to dissatisfaction with his work.
Mourinho wants to build his own technical team and has chosen to bring in Nuno Santos as his goalkeeping specialist.

Tonight, Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are set to take on Coupe de France winners RC Lens in the French curtain-raiser. Luis Enrique's PSG have already collected one trophy this week, beating Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup.
Nuno Mendes picked up a knock during the match against Villa on Wednesday, and should be replaced in the line-up by new signing Lucas Digne. The France international was left on the bench against his former team, but will likely be handed his debut tonight.
Yesterday, PSG completed a double signing for Ferran Torres from Barcelona and Mika Godts from Ajax. Of the two, Godts could debut off the bench, while L'Équipe writes that Torres will be rested and has been left out of the matchday squad.

Brentford are preparing a renewed move for West Ham United's El Hadji Malick Diouf, with a package worth close to £40 million being put together for the 21-year-old Senegal international. Journalist Graeme Bailey broke the news on X, reporting that the Bees are serious and intent on prising him away from East London this summer.
West Ham signed Diouf from Slavia Prague last year for somewhere in the region of £19–22 million. A £40 million offer would effectively double that outlay in barely twelve months. The Hammers are operating in the Championship after last season's relegation, which adds a dictating factor to every contract and transfer conversation at the London Stadium right now.
Diouf contributed five **** ists across 32 Premier League appearances in 2025/26, logging 2,711 minutes despite West Ham's drop. Zero goals, yes, but his underlying numbers told a different story. He averaged 3.62 crosses and 0.23 big chances created per 90 minutes, figures that placed him among the division's elite full-backs. He went to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Senegal and featured in three matches. Nuno Espírito Santo reportedly views him as a "polished diamond" for the club's Championship promotion push. That's not PR fluff; that's a technical **** sment.
LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 25: El Hadji Malick Diouf of West Ham United warms up prior to the Premier League match between West Ham United and Everton at London Stadium on April 25, 2026 in London, England. (Photo by Warren Little/Getty Images)
Here's the thing: West Ham don't need this money. They've already banked a combined £140 million from selling Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes this summer. There's zero financial pressure forcing Nuno's hand. Diouf's Championship output would be absurd; a left-back with World Cup minutes and Premier League-level crossing accuracy playing in the second tier is a categorical mismatch in West Ham's favour.

The NBA is starting off with a bang on opening night on Oct. 20 when LeBron James makes his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
It will be a celebration in New York City as the Knicks will be raising their NBA championship banner before the nationally televised game.
As you could imagine, the amount of attention and interest on that game will be massive as the new-look 76ers, who also added Jaylen Brown this summer, visit their Atlantic Division rivals. It will be the Knicks' first home game since Game 4 of the NBA Finals, which ended with OG Anunoby's winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds to complete a 29-point comeback.
According to Gametime, the current get-in price for a ticket to see the Sixers-Knicks game is $2,127. That's a vast difference compared to the two other games on the opening day of the 2026-27 NBA season. The Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons lists a $195 get-in price, while the Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs matchup is currently $450.
The other notable announcement on Tuesday was the Christmas Day rematch of the NBA Finals with the Spurs visiting the Knicks. That tilt is currently drawing the highest get-in price of the day with a price of $767.

Lazio will reportedly attempt to rescind the contract of Samuel Gigot amid his seemingly never-ending physical problems.
The Avignon native completed a deadline-day transfer from Olympique Marseille in the summer of 2024. While he wasn't a regular starter in his first season at the club, he still made 23 appearances under Marco Baroni, scoring two goals and providing an ****** ist in the process.
On the contrary, the defender didn't make a single appearance last season with Maurizio Sarri, as his campaign was wrecked by back and ankle injuries.
This summer, Gennaro Gattuso's arrival represented a golden opportunity for the 32-year-old to bounce back, since he had already worked under the Calabrian manager during their time together in Marseille. However, his injury nightmare continues to haunt him, forcing him to miss the entire pre-season. Gattuso admitted he won't be able to count on the Frenchman any time soon.
According to Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), the Biancocelesti management is trying to find a way to terminate the defender's contract, which expires in June 2027. Gigot is one of the highest-paid players at Lazio, with a yearly gross salary of €4 million. Capalogy places him fourth on the list behind Mattia Zaccagni, Alessio Romagnoli and Nuno Tavares.

PSG have signed Aston Villa left-back Lucas Digne (33), both clubs have announced. The back-to-back Champions League winners have triggered Digne's release clause, which was valued at €10m. The 33-year-old is making a return to the French capital after spending two seasons at PSG between 2013 and 2015. Digne will also reunite with Luis Enrique, after the latter coached the former at FC Barcelona ten years ago.
Digne has signed a three-year deal with PSG. The France international left-back is expected to act as Nuno Mendes' back-up in the French capital, with Lucas Hernandez shifting to a centre-back role. Digne leaves Aston Villa as an Europa League winner. He joined the Birmingham-based club in 2022 from Premier League rivals Everton to make 182 appearances with Villa.

The New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA championship in June, and it was a huge moment for every fan of the franchise. The triumph ended a 53-year championship drought for the franchise. Now, OG Anunoby has opened up about the moment that made it all possible.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Anunoby was asked about the Knicks' remarkable Game 4 comeback in the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. However, the Knicks star already has his focus on the future.
"It comes up quite a bit so I see it quite a bit… No. I'm over it now," Anunoby said about the Game 4 win.
In Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, the Knicks erased a 29-point deficit against the Spurs. It was the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. Moreover, with 1.2 seconds left, Anunoby sealed a 107-106 win.
Anunoby inbounded the ball to Jalen Brunson, who launched a long three that missed. He then crashed the glass unguarded, soared past Victor Wembanyama, and out-jumped the defenders around him to softly tip the rebound in.
