West Ham smash six past nine-man Lincoln in Championship thrashing
West Ham scored six times after Lincoln were reduced to nine men by two red cards, and Tomas Soucek added a late brace.
- On Wednesday, Lincoln City defender Tom Hamer received a straight red card three minutes into the match against West Ham at ProAmpac Stadium, leaving the hosts severely disadvantaged.
- The trip to ProAmpac Stadium was viewed as a "monster fixture" for Lincoln, a club back in the second tier after 65 years, while West Ham brought a squad costing more than £200m.
- Lincoln's situation worsened when Conor McGrandles received a red card 20 minutes after Hamer's dismissal, and Konstantinos Mavropanos headed West Ham ahead on the stroke of half time.
- West Ham overwhelmed The Imps in the second half, with goals from Edvin Austbo, Jarrod Bowen, and Pablo, plus a Tomas Soucek brace, completing a heavy defeat.
- Lincoln manager Shaw rejected the "underdog" label despite the financial gulf, stating, "We don't want to be that any more," as the club aims to grow into the Championship properly.
