As Aston Villa celebrated a year under Unai Emery in fine style, David Moyes’s West Ham suffered their first significant setback of the season in the shape of a troubling Sunday defeat in the Midlands.
Prior to this contest, only Liverpool and Manchester City had gotten the better of the Hammers this term and a trip to Villa Park right now feels almost as testing an assignment, a 4-1 victory for Emery’s side their 11th on the spin at home in the Premier League.
