Review
We need the three points here. After losing the last 4 games we're just 4 points off the relegation, and the team below us? West Ham. A win for them (and our former manager Nuno) would put them just a point behind us so this was a real 6-pointer and we earned them all with a come-back win and a disallowed goal from the Hammers. Murillo gave them the lead with an early own-goal and it stayed that way at half-time. West Ham scored again but it was ruled offside and then we drew level with a Nicolas Dominguez header, but the real drama came with just a minute to go. Morgan Gibbs-White went up for a high ball against keeper Areola who promptly missed the ball and punched Gibbs-White in the face. He recovered enough to slot the penalty straight down the middle and give us the full points to leave Nuno on a knife-edge as the East-Londoner's manager.
