Gyokeres came to Arsenal to be the answer and instead became the question—January can't come soon enough for either side.  •  Haaland's limping off is City's only real problem right now, because everything else looks like a cheat code on seven wins.  •  West Ham aren't messing about in the Championship—one point off the top and playing like they've got something to prove.  •  Arbeloa's got Fulham moving the right way if they can nick a win against Hull; the hard part starts now.  •  Wirtz created nine chances at Brentford and Liverpool still had to grind it out—that's the kind of performance that wins titles, not the scoreline.

West Ham Close Gap to Swansea with Victory Over Welsh Side

West Ham United defeated Swansea City in Championship action on Saturday, with Divine Mukasa scoring the decisive goal. The result brings West Ham to within one point of Swansea at the top of the table, according to BBC Sport Championship.

The Hammers have demonstrated considerable attacking prowess this season, having scored 30 goals across their opening 11 league matches. The win follows their midweek demolition of Lincoln, and comes as Middlesbrough drew their fixture on the same day.

BBC Sport's coverage notes that Jarrod Bowen has contributed eight goals for West Ham this campaign. Pundit Aaron McLean, a former striker, suggested the captain's decision to remain at the club rather than pursue World Cup involvement may have influenced his commitment to the side's promotion push.

McLean indicated the significance of West Ham's result in maintaining their title challenge, commenting that once the club reaches the top of the league, they are likely to sustain that position. The analysis underscores West Ham's strong start to the season and their positioning as serious contenders in the Championship.
