"2 - In the last two seasons, the only two times that the team in 20th position have led by 3+ goals in a Premier League match have both been against Nuno Espírito Santo.

"There's not much I can say other than we are sorry, because what we showed today was not good enough. We needed much more from our players. The way we started and the way we performed was very poor. It was embarrassing because I don't recall one day that I felt so bad on a football pitch like today."
"It was a failure of many things, mistakes and not reacting to those mistakes, making mistakes and then a second mistake and, over and over again, not being able to control and create any situation of danger. I think we didn't achieve one shot on goal, so that says a lot. I am particularly sad to say this, but what I saw today from our players is not good enough."
West Ham suffered a 3-0 defeat to bottom club Wolves at Molineux, with three first-half goals securing the victory. The result extended West Ham's winless league run to nine matches (D4 L5) and left them four points adrift of 17th place, remaining in the relegation zone. Nuno Espirito Santo apologised to travelling supporters and described the display as embarrassing, singling out poor starts, repeated mistakes and a lack of reaction. OptaJoe noted that Nuno became the first Premier League manager to lose to teams starting a day bottom with two different clubs in the same season. West Ham failed to register a shot on goal. Forest visit the London Stadium next.
