West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini deemed defeat at Cardiff City as "unacceptable".

Junior Hoilett and Victor Camarasa scored as Cardiff ended a run of three successive defeats.

“More than a disappointing result, it was a disappointing performance," he began. “We must review what we are doing when we are playing away because in four [of the last five] away games we didn't score one goal and we conceded too many.

“We knew that today we would find a team that was in a difficult moment after three defeats in a row and fighting against relegation, but they didn't have to do much to score two goals.

“For both goals, we were not concentrating and if we had, we could at least have played badly and drawn nil-nil. I think that was a very bad performance.

“We need to improve our away form. We need to see what we are doing wrong when we play away because it is impossible and unacceptable to play four away games and not score one goal."
