Swansea City 1 West Ham 4: WATCH HIGHLIGHTS – Hammers pile on the misery for Swansea who stay in the bottom three

WEST HAM piled more misery on Swansea with a comprehensive win at the Liberty to heap even more pressure on under fire Swans boss Bob Bradley.

Goals from former Swan Andre Ayew, Winston Reid, Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll did the damage for Slaven Bilic's men who win three league games in a row for the first time this season.

The home fans made it clear what they thought of another limp display at the Liberty as the boos drowned out the singing of the Hammers away contingent who are starting to enjoy life again with Bilic at the helm.

Andre Ayew scored his first goal for the Londoners since his £20 million switch from Swansea last summer.

The Swans top scorer last season won't score an easier goal in his life with his tap in from a yard out after keeper Lukas Fabianski failed to deal with Andy Carroll's back post header.

The visitors doubled their lead just after the break when Winston Reid rose above the defence to head home at the near post from a Dimitri Payet corner.

West Ham took full control of the game with the influential Payet and Mark Noble both going close in the second period.

The Hammers made the game safe on 78 minutes as Havard Nordtveit's shot was diverted home from close range by Michail Antonio as the Swansea defence stopped and prayed for offside.

Antonio continues his incredible goal scoring run, the midfielder is the Hammers top scorer eight league goals scoring six of them with his head.

Swansea can't score goals and shipping them in at an alarming rate, Bradley's side have now conceded a staggering 41 league goals.

Fernando Llorente pulled one back to give the Swans a glimmer of hope after good work from Nathan Dyer.

But Andy Carroll restored the three goal lead with a far post volley drilled past Fabianski for just his second goal of an injury ravaged season.

Swansea alooked bereft of any confidence or idea how to get themselves out the relegation scrap they find themselves in as they sit four points adift of safety.

FACTS, STATS, GOALS AND LOLS

• Swansea are still unsure about their formation and selection. The absence of Fernando Llorente left the home fans baffled.
• If Swansea can hold on to Gylfi Sigurdsson in January, they will have done a good job. He is the one shining light.

• Bradley cannot continue making daft decisions like he is. It takes him until half time to realise his errors.
• West Ham might not be where they want to be in the league, but this was another decent performance from the Hammers.

7

• Andre Ayew is worth his weight in gold in the box, but Bilic must find a way of getting his £20million star to up his work rate
• Whatever anyone says about Andy Carroll he is the perfect outlet for Bilic. When you need to go long, Carroll is the right man in the right place
• It's been said before, but Swansea cannot defend set pieces and will probably go down because of it.

7

• If Swansea do get money to spend in January, they will need to spend it better than they have in recent months.
• Questions need to be asked why the likes of Federico Fernandez, Jefferson Montero, Fernando Llorente and Leroy Fer start on the bench.
• Whatever happens to Swansea, Leon Britton will always be a Swansea hero. Great work ethic, great quality.

SOCIAL SAYS

WHAT THEY SAID

Swansea boss Bob Bradley on another defeat: “After 18 games we are in a very difficult position, but that leaves us 20 games to fight to stay up and to win back the supporters.

We all heard the response in the stadium today. It doesn’t feel good, but sometimes in football you have to fight when everything is going against you."

There’s no magic formula for turning things around other than not giving up and working hard to try to find a way."

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic on a big away win: "It was maybe our best performance this season and we totally deserved to win.

It was a really good performance. From the first minute until the end we were really compact and were able to defend as a team."
