Mark Noble: West Ham had lost four home games on the bounce prior to David Moyes returning to London Stadium. What took place against a Bournemouth side who had themselves suffered eight defeats in 10 games was quite extraordinary. West Ham suddenly looked like they were playing at Upton Park again - full of urgency and purpose. Four goals, two of them from Mark Noble, and a clean sheet finally gave their fans a little bit of what they have been yearning for - entertainment - and it was a great way for them to start the new year.

Weary legs set in and quality became at a premium and there was a brief lull, before the incredulousness of the match continued when Aberdeen substitute Mikey Devlin made a hash of a clearance, allowing Kabamba to finish from close range.

I lost weight and then later on I lost my hair, my eyebrows. I started painting my eyebrows - my daughters were helping me to do that.
