West Ham United were thumped 4-1 at Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham United’s poor run of away form continued on Saturday afternoon as they were thrashed 4-1 at Swansea City, dragging the Hammers back towards the relegation zone.
The Hammers lost 3-1 at Brighton and 4-1 at Liverpool in their last two away trips, and were hoping for better in a crucial visit to Swansea, given that both teams are battling for safety.
What could have been a pivotal afternoon for West Ham turned into a nightmare, as Ki Sung-yueng and Mike van der Hoorn both struck in the first half to give Swansea a 2-0 lead.
Andy King bagged a third from a corner, and Jordan Ayew make it 4-0 from the penalty spot before Michail Antonio pulled back a consolation for West Ham in a disastrous afternoon for David Moyes and co.
Swansea have now leapfrogged West Ham in the table, and the Hammers have now slipped back to just three points clear of the relegation zone after a torrid afternoon in South Wales.
Hammers fans once again voiced their discontent with owners David Gold and David Sullivan, and it’s fair to say that one photo of manager Moyes summed up the feeling in East London after the game.
As pictured at the very top, Moyes made his frustration clear against Swansea, and will now be desperate for a result when Burnley arrive at the London Stadium next weekend.
West Ham fans will have felt a similar way after such a crushing defeat, and three heavy away losses may just damage Moyes’ chances of clinching the job beyond the end of the season.
