West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic has revealed how a locker room row sparked their win at Everton last week.
Newly-promoted Wolves left the London Stadium with a victory – and that was the spark for a no-holds barred exchange that ended with an unexpected triumph at Goodison Park last week.
Before Chelsea's Sunday visit, Arnautovic said: “The manager came into the dressing-room after the game. He wasn't happy. He was angry with our performance.
“We sat there and he kept talking. Then he went out to do interviews. We had it out among ourselves. What had to be said was said. It was good — it was heated in there. I was the captain, so yes, I was involved. There were voices raised.
“You can't keep losing and say nothing. Everybody had to understand we are a club with a big history and tradition and that we can't be where we are in the table. We needed to be hard on ourselves.
“It is not about the manager. He gives us the details, it's up to us to follow them. But it's all said and everyone knows now. We have to give everything on the pitch — and I think that we did that at Everton."
