West Ham Defeats Swansea 1-0, Ending Their Winning Streak

West Ham United achieved a 1-0 victory over Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium, ending Swansea's four-match winning streak in the Sky Bet Championship. Divine Mukasa scored the decisive goal in the first half, allowing West Ham to close the gap to just one point behind the league leaders.

The match saw a record attendance of 20,973. West Ham's win followed a dominant 6-0 victory against Lincoln, but this encounter was more tactical, with few clear chances. Mukasa's goal came after a defensive error from Swansea, allowing him to score his third goal of the season.

Swansea, who had previously enjoyed a strong start to the season, struggled to find the net despite several attempts, including a shot that hit the crossbar. West Ham's goalkeeper, Lawrence Vigouroux, made crucial saves to maintain the lead, while Swansea's efforts to equalize in the closing minutes fell short.
