BBC pundit Tony Gale shares something he has never seen before in West Ham United loss v Fulham
Tony Gale was amazed to see West Ham attacker Said Benrahma clear the Craven Cottage stands with one of his shots in the loss to Fulham.
Second-half substitute Benrahma got his effort horribly wrong, much to the amusement of the home fans as United fell to a shocking 5-0 defeat on Sunday (10 December).
Former West Ham defender Gale, who works as a pundit for BBC Sport among others, could only laugh at what he saw.
“He manages to find the roof of the stand,” Gale said on the World Feed commentary [10 December, 15:48pm].
“I’ve never seen anybody clear that stand with a shot. That would have been a good ‘un if he’d found the net, Benrahma.”
Shocker
Benrahma’s effort really was atrocious and rather neatly summed up a day to forget for the Irons, who were poor from start to finish.
That was one of two shots the Algeria international attempted, and the other one was at least registered as being on target.
Benrahma did not offer enough, although the same is true of every West Ham player on a day to forget across the capital.
It is looking increasingly likely that the 28-year-old will be on his way out of London Stadium next year, with performances like this doing little to help his cause.
After his blank against Fulham, it is now no goals in 18 appearances in all competitions this season for Benrahma, though he does have a couple of assists.
West Ham’s forward players as a collective simply did not have their shooting boots on, whereas Fulham were as clinical as you like in what was a ruthless display.
