Hammers lose fourth in a row

Southampton condemned West Ham to another miserable experience at their new London Stadium as Charlie Austin and Dusan Tadic inspired the visitors' 3-0 victory on Sunday.

West Ham's move from Upton Park to the former Olympic Stadium just across east London was supposed to herald the start of a successful new era.

But instead they have been beset by problems on and off the pitch and a fourth successive Premier League loss left Slaven Bilic's side languishing in the relegation zone.

Austin put Southampton ahead before Tadic and James Ward-Prowse wrapped up Southampton's fourth successive win in all competitions.

West Ham were left to count the cost of a third defeat in six matches in their new abode and, with the worst defensive record in the league, they look destined for a season of struggle.

“We deserved to be defeated. It's hard to change it. The team is down," Bilic said. "We have good weeks of training but when the game comes it's simply not good enough."
