0 ................... TOWN Town suffer first loss

It was after Hernandez was removed when the Hammers found the back of the net.

Obiang’s speculative effort from 25 yards out struck Zanka on the edge of the box, sending the ball looping in the opposite direction to Lossl.

After striking the post, the ball settled into the Town net, breaking Town’s 371-minute Premier League streak without conceding.

And just five minutes later it was two as Andre Ayew pounced on a loose ball following a corner, stabbing it past the despairing Lossl.

Strangely, the second half was much more even despite the hosts netting both of their goals.

And Town did go perilously close to scoring nine minutes from time when Ince, who had one or two decent openings during the match, crashed in a shot which rattled against the home side’s bar.

West Ham deserved the victory, however, with the Hammers pres- suring the Town goal for large portions of the first half, with Town unable to replicate that at the other end as they found it hard work keeping an eye on the Hammers’ pacemen.

The Terriers’ focus will now switch to Saturday, with the visit of 2015/16 Premier League champion Leicester City, when Wagner will hope for a positive response from his side and, again, the excellent backing of the John Smith’s faithful.
