West Ham forward Andy Carroll has shown his softer side following a bruising performance against league-leaders Chelsea.
Carroll sustained a bloody nose during the Monday night game after clashing into Chelsea's Victor Moses during an aerial challenge in a 2-1 defeat for the Hammers.
But the striker took some time out from battling defenders in the air to relax with his fiancee Billi Mucklow.
The pair took in the Royal Ballet's production of Sleeping Beauty after earlier tucking in to some dinner at a Covent Garden restaurant.
