Scott Parker began his West Ham tenure with a thrilling 3-3 draw at Cardiff, recovering from a 3-0 deficit. Jack Moylan's first English hat-trick put Cardiff in control, but the Hammers fought back through goals from Divine Mukasa, Arne Engels, and Max Kilman. Parker was appointed just 24 hours after Nuno Espirito Santo's dismissal, following a poor start to the season.
Moylan scored in the 11th, 36th, and 39th minutes, including a penalty, to give Cardiff a commanding lead. West Ham improved after halftime substitutions, with Jarrod Bowen inspiring the comeback. The draw extends Cardiff's unbeaten home run to 10 games, while West Ham sits eighth in the play-off spots.
