All the annoying negativity – despite just having won the first major trophy for decades – which had spread on social media after a frustratingly slow start to the transfer window during pre-season seems to have gone! West Ham are unbeaten with three games into the new season and have broken the Brighton curse on Saturday: a “clinical Hammers team” recorded their first win against the Seagulls in thirteen Premier League matches, beating them 3-1 away despite enjoying only 19% possession during this game.

When asked about the stats of Saturday’s game with 81% possession in favour of Brighton, West Ham manager David Moyes said:

“They can take the ball home with them if they like, I’ll take the three points.”

West Ham have already made two excellent summer signings, Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse who were both instrumental in the Brighton victory. This game showed again how the tandem can fill the gap left by Declan Rice.

But wait until the window shuts on Friday, I’m sure there will be some fans who will voice their discontent with Moyes’s and Steidten’s business.

Anyway, for now let’s celebrate the unbeaten start and West Ham topping the PL table for 24 hours, and let’s look forward to the unveiling of the imminent signing of versatile midfielder Mohammed Kudus from Ajax.

Come on you Irons!
