West Ham United post voted Man of the Match by supporters

West Ham United fans have voted 'The Post' as their Man of the Match after Saturday afternoon's lucky escape when beating Hull City 1-0 at the London Stadium.

The Hammers saw their opponents thwarted on three separate occasions by the upright, before Mark Noble tucked away a disputed penalty to earn back-to-back home wins for his side.

Supporters showed that, despite their current perilous position, they still have a sense of humour by naming the frame of the goal as the undisputed key factor in the narrow win.

A Twitter poll on the club's official account saw The Post take 57% of the 4,700 votes, ahead of Andy Carroll (14%), Cheikhou Kouyate (17%) and Winston Reid (12%).

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic admitted after the match that his side were fortunate to claim the win, telling reporters: "Yes, I feel like a lucky man, for long periods they look like they deserved something."

West Ham, now 13th in the Premier League table, return to action on Boxing Day with a trip to face Swansea City.
