More misery for West Ham star Edson Alvarez in shock defeat that leaves boss covered in blood after fan attack

Alvarez suffers fresh injury blow as Hammers slump to another defeat

West Ham United's miserable season continued on Saturday as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion. The Hammers took the lead through Said Benrahma, but goals from Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard condemned them to a fifth defeat in their last six Premier League games.

The defeat was compounded by an injury to Edson Alvarez, who was forced off in the first half with a hamstring problem. The Mexican defender has been in fine form for West Ham this season, but his latest injury setback is a major blow to David Moyes' side.

Moyes left bloodied after fan attack

In a shocking incident after the match, West Ham manager David Moyes was attacked by a fan as he made his way to the team bus. The fan punched Moyes in the face, leaving him with a bloodied nose and lip.

The fan was arrested and taken into custody. Moyes was treated by medical staff and did not require hospital treatment.

West Ham fans demand answers

West Ham fans have been left furious by the team's recent performances and the attack on Moyes. They have called for the club's owners to take action and have demanded answers from the players and manager.

West Ham are now 18th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone. They face a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks, including matches against Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

What next for West Ham?

It is unclear what the future holds for West Ham. The club is in a state of disarray and it is difficult to see how they can turn things around.

Moyes is under increasing pressure and it is possible that he could be sacked if results do not improve soon. The players also need to take responsibility for their poor performances and start showing some fight on the pitch.

West Ham fans are desperate for success, but it is difficult to see where it is going to come from at the moment.
