West Ham United Birthday Card

Product Information

It’s befitting to win after the sad loss of the chairman,” Dyche said. “It’s a very good performance. Dom’s a very good player and has had a tough couple of years. We’re improving from last season. There’s clear signs of that.” Our best-ever result at Villa Park was a 5-1 First Division victory scored in April 1927, when Vic Watson (two), Stan Earle, Joseph Johnson and Jimmy Ruffell shared the visitors’ goals. He has taken charge of eleven West Ham matches in total, with the Irons having won two of them - including last season's 1-0 victory at Villa Park. Bowen's goal triggered euphoric scenes in the stands and a fierce reaction from Moyes, who was feeling pretty aggrieved at how the game had been panning out. And the calm manner in which the 19-year-old thrashed home his first goal for the club past Fabianski hinted at cult status if he keeps performing in this manner.

Boss David Moyes would have been unhappy at the way Leeds opened up his defence to score their opener and also at how the hosts were able to overpower a midfield containing England World Cup star Declan Rice as the contest reached its crescendo. Whilst Nayef Aguerd took time out to console Morocco team-mates Sofyan Amrabat at the final whistle, the celebrations of the Premier League team were something to behold. But it was a rare glimpse of goal for the home side, who were forced to defend for long periods. Their defences were eventually breached by on-loan Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, who tapped home from close range after the ball had been deflected into his path.Sunday afternoon's Premier League game will be broadcast live on television in the UK by Sky Sports on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. It will also be shown across the world by the Premier League's international broadcast partners. Dembele's unnecessary wink as Cresswell made his way off was reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo's infamous reaction to Wayne Rooney's dismissal during the 2006 World Cup. Probably not as good as we liked,” Moyes said. “Everton defended the box really well. That’s the first game we’ve not scored a goal in this season. We might have had more of the ball today but that doesn’t matter. We weren’t able to open it up.” On that occasion he awarded a penalty to each team as the Hammers came from 2-0 down to force a 2-2 draw against Mikel Arteta's title-chasers. Lyon boss Peter Bosz, meanwhile, was unhappy his side failed to make the most of their numerical advantage in the second half.

Bowen timed his run to perfection as Lucas Paqueta slid a superb pass through the Fiorentina defence. Gareth Taylor was expected to strengthen his squad in the summer transfer window after a disappointing end to last season that saw his side miss out on the third and final Champions League spot. Michail Antonio overcame an adductor issue and was able to start in the home draw with Newcastle at the start of October, but Aaron Cresswell (hamstring) and Ben Johnson (groin) were still absent due to injury prior to the internationals. Jacob Ramsey has suffered a recurrence of a foot injury, and it remains to be seen if the midfielder will be fit enough for a return to action on Sunday. Antonio cleared Liam Cooper's header off the line, before failing by inches at the other end to turn Manuel Lanzini's injury-time cross.

Despite the potential for a semi-final with Barcelona - which some long-time Hammers fans believe would be the biggest match in their history, even taking account of previous trophy successes in the FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup - they heeded the advice. The performance was better than recent efforts, which should count in the Scot's favour but, in a world where results count, West Ham's league position does not provide much cause for comfort as only goal difference keeps them out of the bottom three. Klich says goodbye - but Gnonto shines

Alphonse Areola denied Emerson with a decent save as Lyon searched for a winner but West Ham held firm, with Craig Dawson particularly impressive in their rearguard action. Bowen had been a doubt for the game with the heel injury he suffered at Liverpool last month that kept him out of the last-16 win over Sevilla.We have a really difficult game in Lyon now but we expected that - it's very much all to play for and I would have taken that the way we ended the first half," said Hammers boss Moyes. The decision to appointment Rehanne Skinner as Paul Konchesky's replacement was one that may not have been widely welcomed by West Ham fans. The reaction from the pitch and the stands at the final whistle give a lie to anyone who feels this tournament is beneath them and should give hope to Aston Villa, England's entrants next season.
