Michael Owen has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to West Ham United’s win against Chelsea at the London Stadium.

The Hammers got the better of the Blues 1-0 at home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, thanks to Marko Arnautovic’s goal in the sixth minute.

Former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker Owen was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of the Hammers, who suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the league last weekend.

Ex-Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has also praised Moyes following the win for the Hammers.

Joe Hart of West Ham United wamrs up prior to the Premier League match between West Ham United and Chelsea at London Stadium on December 9, 2017 in London, England.

Joe Hart was dropped for the match against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, with Adrian featuring in goal for West Ham in the London derby.

England international goalkeeper Hart has struggled to play well since this season-long loan deal from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

Adrian played well against Pep Guardiola’s City last weekend as well, and it is hard to see the Spaniard lose his place in the Hammers’ starting lineup anytime soon.

West Ham manager Moyes, though, has said that Hart will not return to City in the January transfer window.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s match, Moyes told The Daily Mail: “I don’t think we could work here without two top goalkeepers.

“Because we have got a couple of cup games, we have got an incredibly busy period. What if we got an injury? Who would we play? If it was me I would definitely want the two goalkeepers.”
