David Moyes’ face said it all. There’s Dog and Duck defending, and then there’s this, the sort of shambolic spectacle that gets a manager the sack.
Each goal was a gift for Newcastle – five freebies to ensure they stay firmly in that chase for Champions League football while West Ham remain embroiled in this extraordinary relegation race.
Never has the London Stadium been so empty before the end of a game. The cameraman followed Moyes at full time and the manager did not take kindly to that, staring daggers down the lens.
Yet there can be no hiding place for Moyes after this, nor his players.
