Former Arsenal and West Ham United striker Ian Wright has criticised Hammers defender Thilo Kehrer following their defeat to Everton on Sunday.
The Hammers fell to their fifth league loss in just seven Premier League matches this season after Neal Maupay’s second half goal was enough for a 1-0 victory for Frank Lampard’s goal.
Analysing the match and Match of the Day 2 on Sunday night, Wright, whose professional career saw him spend a year with West Ham, seven with Arsenal, and six with Crystal Palace, felt that German defender Kehrer was at fault for not closing down Maupay quickly enough before he turned and shot after Alex Iwobi’s pass.
