West Ham’s poor form is ‘on Pellegrini’s watch’ says pundit
West Ham suffered another loss in the Premier League this lunchtime as Tottenham beat them at the London Stadium.
Jose Mourinho got his reign off to a successful start as Spurs recorded a 3-2 victory.
Son Heung-min netted the first goal of the Special One’s reign before Lucas Moura and Harry Kane also got themselves on the scoresheet.
Michail Antonio and an injury-time effort from Angelo Ogbonna did pull two back for West Ham but it wasn’t to be for the Hammers which has led to speculation Pellegrini could be sacked.
West Ham sit in 16th and are just five points clear of the relegation zone but who are three possible candidates to replace Pellegrini?
