West Ham earned a late 2-1 win over West Brom on Tuesday night.
West Ham United earned just a third Premier League victory under the stewardship of David Moyes with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday night – but fans are dismayed with the performance of Pedro Obiang.
James McClean had given the Baggies a first-half lead as his long-range strike lopped over Adrian into the back of the net, via a deflection. But West Ham turned the game on its head during the second 45.
Andy Carroll finally ended his goal drought by stooping highest to head home a delicious Aaron Cresswell cross, before showing nimble footwork and surprising weak-foot ability to turn home Marko Arnautovic’s low cross with his right foot.
The England international’s second came in the 94th minute, to the delight of Moyes and West Ham fans alike. The crucial moment of the match, though, could have been Moyes’ decision to replace Obiang at half time.
It saw club captain Mark Noble enter the fray for the second 45 despite suffering a hamstring injury last time out against Stoke, in place of former Sampdoria midfielder Obiang and fans are beginning to get fed up of the latter.
One fan even described the 25-year-old Spaniard’s performance as “very average to say the least”.
