West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to kick Marseille fans when they’re down after the French side were comprehensively beaten by minnows Nantes.

Disgraced former Hammer Dimitri Payet started on the left of a front three for Marseille, having scored a lucky deflected free kick in OM’s midweek fixture against European giants Guingamp.

But Payet made next to no impact on the game which Nantes, who had scored just five home league goals before Sunday night, thoroughly dominated.

French media outlet L’Equipe slammed Payet’s performance following the defeat, calling him the ‘flop of the match’, and rating his display at an embarrassing 4/10.

L’Equipe were quickly joined by Payet’s former supporters across the Channel as West Ham fans took to Twitter to have a laugh at Marseille’s expense.

So if you’re one of the many Hammers who felt slighted by the overweight Frenchman’s pathetic departure from the club then sit back, relax and enjoy some of these fantastic efforts from the lads:
