West Ham made easy work of Wrexham in a 6-0 victory at the London Stadium to make it four in a row and go top of the Championship.
With the look of a side still belonging to the Premier League, Nuno Espirito Santo's West Ham controlled the game from the outset, overwhelming the visitors at times.
Captain Jarrod Bowen opened the floodgates in the 28th minute, arriving at the far post to convert Manor Solomon's cross after a flowing move.

West Ham continued to press and doubled their advantage seven minutes before half-time. Taty Castellanos drove into the box before finding Joel Piroe, who made no mistake with a first-time finish.
There was no let-up after the interval and Konstantinos Mavropanos headed Bowen's inviting corner beyond Anthony Patterson just three minutes into the second half.
Castellanos added one of his own in the 63rd minute, finishing calmly after Kyle Walker-Peters drove forward before teeing up the Argentina international.
Mohamadou Kante made it 5-0 in the 76th minute, racing onto Manor Solomon's clever ball over the top before finishing past Patterson.
Solomon then got his reward for an excellent individual display, adding the sixth. Walker-Peters teed up the Hammers No 10, who controlled, turned and fired home despite Patterson getting a hand to the effort.
The result lifts West Ham to 14 points from six games, taking them above West Brom at the top of the Championship making a statement with 16 goals in their last four outings after a shaky start.
For Wrexham, it was a chastening night as their previously stubborn defence was breached six times.
