West Ham fans have lauded summer transfer target Aaron Mooy's performance for Australia in his nation's opening World Cup match against France on social media.
The 27-year-old midfielder was crucial for Huddersfield in the Premier League last season and is one of a number of players new Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is reportedly interested in bringing to the London Stadium.
Australia held firm during a goalless first half, and impressed as they fell to a 2-1 defeat in a second half full of talking points and controversy.
VAR got its first run out to award a questionable penalty to France, converted by Antoine Griezmann, before Australia rallied well and four minutes later had a penalty of their own following a ridiculous handball by French defender Samuel Umtiti.
