West Ham United lost 4-2 at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday night.

West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini has told Football.London that he felt his side’s big problem against AFC Wimbledon was their attitude.

The Hammers travelled down to Kingsmeadow on Saturday night, having already won there once this season – a 3-1 victory in the Carabao Cup back in August.

However, Pellegrini’s side couldn’t produce a similar result on Saturday as they were embarrassed 4-2 by League One’s bottom club.

Kwesi Appiah and a Scott Wagstaff brace had put AFC Wimbledon 3-0 up inside 50 minutes, before Lucas Perez and Felipe Anderson scored to bring West Ham back into the game.

Wimbledon did get their win though, wrapping up the 4-2 victory as teenager Toby Sibbick wrapped it up late on to dump West Ham out in the fourth round.

Fans have been furious with the performance, with many not appeased after the club announced a contract extension for Marko Arnautovic straight after the defeat.

West Ham must now hit back against Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek, and Pellegrini has produced a scathing verdict on his side’s display last night.

Pellegrini was asked what his side’s biggest problem was, and issued just a one-word response; ‘Attitude’, slamming his side’s approach to playing a team two division below themselves.
