Well, what a result that was yesterday.
After nearly two months without a win and losing five in a row before yesterday’s game, West Ham needed to dig deep and show what they’re made of in a relegation six-pointer against Swansea.
The Hammers were on top for much of the first half but were unable to make the breakthrough, that is until Cheikhou Kouyate’ 20-yard strike arrowed into the bottom corner shortly before half-time.
Slaven Bilic was a picture of sheer delight and relief at full-time having seen his side finally see out a game with all three points in the bag.
West Ham are now amongst four teams tied on 36 points, eight clear of the relegation zone and you have to feel that the gap may be too big to chase down with so few games left to play.
