West Ham United vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
West Ham made the latest upward move in the seesaw relegation battle with a nervy 1-0 Premier League win over basement side Southampton.
After results on Saturday conspired to leave the Hammers second from bottom, Nayef Aguerd’s first-half header rocketed them to the heady heights of 14th.
‘Must-win’ games have been a regular occurrence for under-pressure manager David Moyes this season, but just as they had done against Everton and Nottingham Forest recently, his team pulled out a victory when they needed it most.
With Leicester the latest club to swing the axe - the news of Brendan Rodgers’ departure filtered through during this match - only Moyes and Steve Cooper at Forest of the bottom nine sides have kept their jobs this season.
