David Moyes' first game back in the Premier League didn't exactly get off to the best of starts.
After just eleven minutes played at Vicarage Road, his West Ham side - beginning the game in 18th place in the table - found themselves a goal down to Watford.

Former Derby player Will Hughes was responsible for the goal, finishing smartly when the ball fell to him in the area.

Despite this, he's found his first team opportunities limited since making the move, only making his full league debut for the club in the recent 3-2 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park.
