West Ham picked up their first points of the season, leaving it late to beat Huddersfield Town 2-0 at the London Stadium.
The club’s fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate the win which has lifted the Hammers from the foot of the Premier League.
Many have attributed high praise to new boy Pablo Zabaleta, who excelled in his debut at the London Stadium in the Claret and Blue.
Despite being so early into the season, the game felt like a must-win for Slaven Bilic’s side who had lost their opening three league games.
Earlier in the day saw the sacking of Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer and Bilic would have been fearing the worst should his side suffer a fourth defeat on the trot.
However, the Croat orchestrated a 2-0 win and Hammers fans have singled out Zabaleta for showing that class can be permanent and he shone at right-back…
