  • Marko Arnautovic’s first West Ham goal secured a 1-0 victory over Chelsea and a first win for manager David Moyes.

    Arnautovic struck after only six minutes to condemn the champions to a first defeat in seven Premier League matches.

    The £24million club-record signing was jeered by home fans earlier in the season after some below-par displays, but he looks a player reborn under Moyes.

    STAR MAN – MARKO ARNAUTOVIC

    Arnautovic looks unrecognisable compared to the player that was operating under former boss Slaven Bilic earlier this season, showing his class with the superb winner early on.

    MOMENT OF THE MATCH

    The London Stadium erupted when Arnautovic fired West Ham ahead in the sixth minute. The former Stoke forward exchanged passes with Manuel Lanzini before curling a left-footed effort into the bottom corner.

    VIEW FROM THE BENCH

    Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi took bench warming to a new level at the London Stadium. The Belgium international, regularly named among the substitutes under Antonio Conte, went viral on social media when he was seen fighting the cold in an unusual way.

    Wearing gloves, a woolly hat and an overcoat, Batshuayi was seen warming his face with a hot water bottle.

    WHAT NEXT FOR HART?

    The West Ham goalkeeper paid the price for his unavailability against his parent club Manchester City last week.

    Adrian stepped into his shoes and produced a fine performance, leaving Moyes with no option but to retain him in goal against Chelsea.

    The Spaniard kept a clean sheet to make matters worse for Hart and, in a World Cup year, Moyes’ decision could leave the England goalkeeper’s number-one hopes in tatters.

    DATA POINT

    After a difficult start to life with the Hammers following his big-money move from Stoke, Arnautovic picked the perfect game to open his account for the club at the 14th attempt.
