In their tussle earlier in the season, Hull City came out on
top after a VERY soft penalty for a ‘challenge’ on Robbie Brady and despite
dominating for large periods came away with nothing.
And so tonight the Hammers are ahead thanks to a penalty
that was a little fortunate given that it was preceded by the ball touching off
Momo Diame’s hand which, although obviously accidental, undoubtedly conferred
an advantage to the Hammers Midfielder. Mike Dean initially seemed to wave play
on but then in response to the referee’s assistant pointed to the spot.
The usual summary justice at the hands of Mark Noble
followed to put West Ham 1-0 ahead, but significantly, Hull are also down to ten
men as the keeper was sent marching despite feigning injury for a full five
minutes!
After a run of poor results, the Hammers needed a bit of
luck and now are well positioned to push away from the relegation mire. With
Hull insisting on playing two up front, there’s likely to be a few twists to
this one yet!
Are Big Sam’s boys set to ruin our involvement in the end of
seasons histrionics again this year?
Well well as ever FS has gone defensive
ReplyDeleteNever mind the fact that he's only playing 10 men.
No surprise there
awful, truly awful....sitting back and letting them build confidence.
ReplyDeleteDemel and Downing are having 'mares ...and why take off Diame? Taylor hasn't touched the ball all night!
