Kurt Zouma: 'Animal lover' David Moyes '100% disappointed' in defender but 'responsible for results'

West Ham manager David Moyes says he is a "human being and an animal lover" but "responsible for getting results" after deciding to start Kurt Zouma in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Watford.

Zouma has apologised and the club will deal with the incident "internally".

Asked whether he was upset with Zouma, Moyes replied: "Oh, 100%."

He told BBC Match of the Day: "It's something we're all disappointed with and something we can't understand.

"He'll learn from it [but] today I had to pick a football team that gave me the best chance of winning the game as manager of West Ham.
