Arthur Masuaku was amongst a host of West Ham players to take to Twitter after their stunning win over Chelsea on Saturday – while Mark Noble took to social media to comment on one particular incident during the game.

David Moyes tasted victory as Hammers boss for the very first time as they ended the Blues’ brilliant run of recent form. A Marko Arnautovic strike from just inside the penalty area just six minutes into the game at the London Stadium ultimately settled the contest.

It was a hugely improved performance from the Irons who had lost three of their first four games since Moyes took charge, especially as they were facing a Chelsea team that had won six of their previous seven top flight fixtures, drawing the other.

The victory was not enough to take them out of the bottom three, but they now sit below West Brom – the team directly above the drop zone – only on goal difference, and the confidence that they gained from the win will undoubtedly give them a great chance to get themselves out of trouble.

Unsurprisingly, a number of Irons stars took to social media to comment on the victory. Amongst them was Masuaku who was absolutely fantastic during the game, and he made sure to send the supporters a message after the win. And he was not the only one to thank the fans.

Meanwhile, captain Noble used Twitter to comment on one particular incident during the game, admitting his confusion after he decided to step onto Michail Antonio while the forward was lying on the floor.
