Bilic apologises to West Ham fans in wake of Tottenham defeat

Slaven Bilic has said sorry to West Ham United supporters for Sunday's loss to Tottenham.


The Hammers were convincingly beaten 4-1 in the London derby at White Hart Lane which has prompted Bilic to apologise to the faithful of the East London club.

"Of course I want to apologise to them because it's a special kind of game and tomorrow it's not going to be very good for our fans to go to work with the Spurs teasing them and all that," the manager said.

"First, I want to apologise to them and second I want to promise them that we're going to bounce back and we're going to prepare for a game against West Brom and we're going to be back on the winning track."

Harry Kane scored a double while Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker were also on the scoresheet for Tottenham before Manuel Lanzini pulled one back late for the Hammers who remain sixth on the Premier League table.
