League position: 15th This was West Ham United's biggest away win in the Premier League since a 4-1 victory at Swansea City on 26 December 2016. Manager David Moyes completed a run of three games without defeat in the Premier League for the first time since March 2014 when he was in charge of Manchester United. In this game, Mark Noble became the first player to make 300 appearances for the Hammers in the Premier League (now scored 34 goals).
