The Hammers confirmed on Monday evening that a total of 10 supporters were ejected from the stadium during the 4-2 Premier League defeat with almost 50 complaints made over standing in seated areas and anti-social behaviour.

Michail Antonio drew little satisfaction from his two goals for West Ham in defeat to Watford.
“E20 confirmed that immediate action is being taken on the issues raised”, said a West Ham club statement.
“Once identified, they will be banned from attending any West Ham United fixture for life and we will request the courts serve banning orders to prevent these individuals attending any football”. “Of course the second is terrible but the first one for me came from a very predictable attack, that we should have at least put them in a situation, where they had to do something better to hurt us”.
Mazzarri claimed his first win as Watford manager on Saturday, his men coming from two goals down to claim a remarkable victory, with Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas getting on the scoresheet.
Deeney still faced the trickiest of chances, but the skipper was inch flawless as he lobbed the ball over Adrian and into the bottom right hand corner.
“The important thing that I’m looking at now is the way we play, and not the results”.
The second one – Antonio’s 10th headed goal since the start of last season – showed Payet at his most inventive, firing in the cross with a magnificent piece of individual skill.
Hammers boss Bilic said on the trouble: “They told me about it”.
“All we can do is say sorry to the fans for that and move on to the next game”.

“We had other opportunities to kill the game, but we didn’t manage to do that and defensively we made a couple of mistakes. It was way too early for us to switch off, it wasn’t like it was the 85th minute”.
