West Ham won 1-0 in a game they probably deserved to lose.
Hull City left-back Andrew Robertson says West Ham boss Slaven Bilic admitted that the Tigers were the better team during the 1-0 defeat at the London Stadium today.
West Ham won against Hull in the Premier League this afternoon, with Mark Noble scoring from the penalty spot after the Hammers were given a soft spot-kick.

But Hull could not take their chances and West Ham rode their luck all the way toward an eventual 1-0 triumph.
But the Hammers manager apparently informed the Scottish left-back of his belief that the visiting side were undoubtedly the better team.
Robertson is quoted as telling the BBC:
“Anyone who watches the highlights will see we dominated the game. We had so many chances and have been done by a soft penalty.
“That is probably our best performance of the season and it ends up with us bottom of the league. That is the beauty of football. We have got to hope it turns around for us.
“First half we went in and West Ham were booed off. I can’t believe we’ve not scored today.
“Their manager said we were the better team and that is just unfortunate.”
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic
It is bold from the West Ham manager to be so critical of his own team’s performance, especially after they picked up a victory in the Premier League.
But there would be little argument from any West Ham fans that his side were more than fortunate to pick up the win in a game they did not deserve three points from.
West Ham have been in mixed form this season but this win has taken them up to 13th in the table and Bilic will be relieved his side did get the three points.
But at least he recognises there is still plenty of room for improvement.
