LEEDS, England :West Ham United’s horrific run of results in the Premier League this season continued with a 2-1 defeat at Leeds United on Friday, ensuring their worst start in over half a century.

A dismal return of four points is West Ham's worst performance after their opening nine games of a league campaign since the 1973-74 season.

They sit second from bottom but if Wolverhampton Wanderers win at home to Burnley on Sunday, the Hammers will drop to last.

Already they have changed their manager, but the departure of Graham Potter - since appointed Sweden coach - and the arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo has not altered their fortunes.
