Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that fans got to see both the best and worst of his West Ham side against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
The Hammers were 3-1 down at the London Stadium with just 15 minutes remaining, and somehow came from behind in dramatic fashion to win 4-3 over the beleaguered Terriers.
Jan Siewert’s side, who sit rock bottom of the Premier League table, were in a promising position thanks to goals from Juninho Bacuna, and a double from January signing Karlan Grant.
However, West Ham second half goals coming from Angelo Ogbonna and a Javier Hernandez brace, after Mark Noble’s first half penalty, saw the Hammers snatch a win.
Talking after the Premier League match-up, Pellegrini admitted he hated watching his side play badly in the first half. As reported by BT Sport, Pellegrini said:
I hate it when my team play badly. I think everyone was disappointed when we were 3-1 down but we did well to come back.
The victory is very good for the fans, especially when you are losing 3-1 and you don’t give up. That reflects the character of the team
It’s good for everyone. For the fans, for me, the players. It’s good for everyone except Huddersfield.
