Max Porter on West Ham defeat

Related Topics: Max Porter, West Ham United

Max Porter reflected on a tough night for our under-21s, as we lost a narrow encounter 1 - 0 to West Ham United.

We fought hard in the first half, narrowly missing out on the lead when Osman Kamara's effort deflected just wide.

The Hammers got the only goal of the contest five minutes into the second half through captain Kaelan Casey, and despite the best effort of our Gunners, the hosts held on to take all three points.

On the performance...

"Very tight contest but if I'm honest we're disappointed. We had the lion's share of the possession, pushed them back into a low block a lot but their low block is very compact and they defended really well.
