A sloppy start cost West Ham on the south coast
(Picture: Getty Images)There were five cruise liners docked in Southampton as this game kicked off at St. Mary’s, a particularly busy weekend for the port city, and had West Ham consigned the home side to a fifth-straight Premier League defeat, Ralph Hasenhuttl may well have found himself dashing to make the last of them.
Instead, as Southampton stopped the rot and perhaps kept Hasenhuttl in a job, West Ham’s own, much happier, streak also came to an end, a run of four wins on the bounce since the international break halted by a 1-1 draw on the south coast.
