West Ham United midfielder Flynn Downes believes that the Hammers’ recently improved intensity has led to a recent upturn in David Moyes’ side’s form.
The Irons are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions, backing up wins over Everton and Derby County at the end of January with draws against Newcastle United and Chelsea in the Hammers’ last two league games.
Five points from their last three league games has started to slowly edge West Ham away from the relegation zone, moving 16th and two points clear of the drop, although they will drop to 17th and only a point off if Everton win away at Liverpool on Monday night.
