West Ham thanking their lucky stars after fortuitous home win over Hull

West Ham fans and vociferous critics may need to revise their opinions of the London Stadium soon.

For the second time in a week, the Hammers can consider themselves very lucky to come away from a game with all three points. Saturday's fortunate 1-0 win over luckless Hull City was much more than the home side deserved, the visitors striking the post on three occasions.

West Ham's goal seemed to have a charmed life and, on this showing, the Stratford ground could soon become a lucky stadium.

Dieumerci Mbokani's miss was the worst. The Hull striker was one-on-one with Darren Randolph and had a full sight of the net but managed to find the woodwork.
