Bilic left fuming after humiliating Watford defeat

After witnessing West Ham crumble against Watford, Slaven Bilic was left furious by his team's slack defending.

Slaven Bilic has slammed West Ham's defending after seeing his side throw away a two-goal advantage and slump to a 4-2 defeat against Watford.

West Ham's second Premier League appearance at London Stadium got off to a great start on Saturday, when Dimitri Payet twice supplied Michail Antonio to put the hosts into a commanding lead after 33 minutes.

However, a quickfire double from Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney turned the game on its head prior to the interval, with second-half strikes from Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas sealing Walter Mazzarri's first victory as Watford manager.
