West Ham made to pay for Kalvin Phillips ring-rust as David Moyes’ gamble backfires

The unfamiliar form by no means labored, however earlier than its failings had even been established, the guests led via Phillips’s reward. In fact, the newcomer was bought quick by his captain, Kurt Zouma’s move under-hit and unwelcome, however his personal tame nudge again in direction of his goalkeeper was worse. Briefly, the linesman’s flag provided reprieve, Solanke offside if the urgent Ryan Christie had managed even a slight contact. Alas, VAR revealed he had not.
