West Ham United left-back Arthur Masuaku today conceded a comical penalty to gift West Brom an early lead at the Hawthorns.

Big summer signing Nacer Chadli converted to give the Baggies a 1-0 lead.

The Hammers’ summer signing from Olympiacos randomly decided to handle a cross towards the back post under no pressure from any West Brom player.

Watford took advantage of some poor defending from West Ham last weekend in coming from 0-2 to win 4-2 at the London Stadium.

It is these kind of defensive errors that are causing real issues for Slaven Bilić’s side who had conceded 2+ goals in 11 of their last 14 Premier League games before today.
