West Ham United claimed their first points of the season by beating promoted Huddersfield Town 2-0 on Monday, giving some breathing space to their under-fire coach Slaven Bilic.
A deflected strike by Pedro Obiang in the 72nd minute and a goal from Andre Ayew five minutes later, when he stabbed home a loose ball from close range after a corner, were enough to end Huddersfieldโs unbeaten start to the season.
West Ham were playing their first home game of the campaign after having to travel for their opening three matches because the stadium they moved into last season had been used for the world athletics championships in August.
The win took West Ham off the bottom of the table and up to 18th place, still in the relegation zone, while Huddersfield stay sixth with seven points from their four games.
