West Ham United skipper Mark Noble comments on the bet he had with Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard in January

West Ham United secured a valuable 3-2 victory over Leicester City yesterday, with Jesse Lingard’s brace inspiring them to a much-needed win. The Hammers are in fourth place in the Premier League table with seven games to go, and they will be hoping to finish the campaign strongly. Despite the absences of Michail Antonio and Declan Rice, David Moyes’ men will fancy their chances of going all the way given Lingard’s red-hot form. The England international has been in inspired form since joining West Ham on loan from Manchester United in January.

Lingard has hit the ground running at the London Stadium, scoring eight goals and weighing in with three assists in nine Premier League games.
