West Ham United manager David Moyes admits he was pleased by the performance of midfielder Flynn Downes during Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Brentwood-born Hammers supporter, who joined West Ham for a fee of up to £12million in the summer if add-ons are triggered, was recalled to the starting line-up on Sunday for the Hammers’ 2-0 defeat to Spurs, winning his fourth Premier League start.
Of those starts, three have come away from home and all of them have been against sides in the ‘big six’ in Liverpool, Manchester United and now Spurs, with Brazilian Lucas Paqueta injured for all three.
