Julen Lopetegui is not the first West Ham boss to be booed off at the London Stadium.

It was not the same level of toxicity others before him have faced and that is because it is still early days.

But the stats do not make for good reading. It is now three home games played, three home games lost. There had been some encouraging signs in the 3-1 defeat by Manchester City before the international break, especially in the second half.

The players looked to be getting to grips with the Spaniard’s tactics and, even though City were superior, they at least competed.
