West Ham United came from 2-0 to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Adrian of West Ham United looks on as Dele Alli of Tottenham Hotspur scores
West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has taken to Twitter to point out the celebrations of goalkeeper Adrian during the 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
The Hammers were thrashed 3-0 by Brighton and Hove Albion on Friday, in a listless defeat that left manager Slaven Bilic clinging onto this job ahead of Wednesday’s trip to face London rivals Spurs in the Carabao Cup.
Bilic needed a big performance to calm some of the rumours over his future, but his side were 2-0 down by half time, as Moussa Sissoko and Dele Alli both found the net for Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.

However, West Ham hit back after the break, as Andre Ayew scored twice in quick succession to bring the Hammers level, leaving Mauricio Pochettino’s side shell-shocked having dominated the first half.
West Ham then completed the turnaround, as Angelo Ogbonna headed home the winner, sending the travelling Hammers fans into absolute delirium as they turned a 2-0 deficit into a stunning 3-2 win.
The fans weren’t the only ones who enjoyed wild celebrations after Ogbonna’s goal, as footage emerged of goalkeeper Adrian sprinting from his own half to go and celebrate with his teammates.
The goalkeeper, given a rare chance in goal in place of Joe Hart, showed his passion with his celebrations, and co-owner David Gold took to Twitter to point out Adrian’s exuberant celebrations on Twitter – which unsurprisingly prompted a reaction from Hammers fans.
Hammers fans sent tweets back to Gold stating that Adrian’s passion is exactly what West Ham need right now, and called for the Spaniard to start ahead of Joe Hart when West Ham take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.
