Moyes: 'No issues with Arnautovic conduct'

West Ham United boss David Moyes has said that he had no issues with Marko Arnautovic's conduct against former club Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.

Arnautovic netted the second goal in the 3-0 win at the bet365 Stadium, marking the strike by sliding to his knees, while the Austrian international also had a Stoke shirt thrown at him from the stands.

Potters boss Mark Hughes was critical of Arnautovic's actions, but Moyes has insisted that the incident had been blown out of proportion.

The 54-year-old told reporters: "I didn't think there was anything in it. Marko was coming off the pitch, I don't know what Mark Hughes said, I was so concentrated on the game and getting the result. Marko had put in a performance and played well and I have no problems with what he did.

"He slid on his knees and went to the side, he didn't do anything out of order. Not at all."

Arnautovic's goal was just his second since his summer switch to the London Stadium.
