Norwich City has been defeated by West Ham United in a Premier League match played at Boleyn Ground on Tuesday. West Ham won the match by 2-1. This was West Ham’s seventh victory in the ongoing Premier League. With the help of this win, West Ham managed to maintain its 11th position in the points table. West Ham currently has 26 points in 20 matches.

On the other hand, this was the 8th defeat for Norwich City in the competition. However, the defeat didn’t take Norwich City down in the points table. Norwich City is still at the 12th position in the points table.

The West Ham players were playing on their home ground and they didn’t disappoint the home fans who turned up in large numbers. They were thoroughly professional in their approach and provided a lot of entertainment to their fans.

West Ham United was off to a blistering start in the match. The Irons earned a penalty in the 3rd minute of the match and Mark Noble didn’t make any mistake in capitalizing on that chance. He outthought the Norwich goalkeeper and smashed the ball into the net. The Norwich goalie dived in the wrong direction.

The Irons doubled their lead in the 26th minute of the match. It was Joey O’Brien who scored the second goal for West Ham. Noble passed the ball to Carlton Cole who set it up for O’Brien. O’Brien got into a good position before sweeping the ball into the net.

Norwich City managed to reduce the lead to 1-2 towards the end with the goal of Russell Martin, but, that was too little, too late. West Ham played sensibly in the remaining few minutes and walked away with the win.

Norwich City’s next match will be a FA Cup encounter against Peterborough United on Saturday.

The current AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri will remain as the manager of the team at least till the end of the season according to the AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani. AC Milan have been struggling a lot in all competitions this season. However, the manager Massimiliano Allegri has not been entirely at fault because he has lost a number of crucial players from last season. One of the most important has been the striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but fans have been calling for the dismissal of the manager following a poor run of results that left the club closer to the relegation zone until recently.

Following the 1-0 win over Juventus recently, AC Milan have moved to the 10th position in the table. There still remains a long way to go for the club before they can challenge for the top three spots in the Italian Serie A table. However, Massimiliano Allegri will remain as the manager of the team at least till the end of the season. There have been a lot of rumours that AC Milan are extremely keen on bringing in the former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, who is currently on sabbatical till the end of the season. Milan have also recently qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

“I’ve always thought that he had the situation in hand. He’s had two great years, winning the Scudetto, then second place, the Supercoppa and a Champions League quarter-final place. I have always been against changing coaches in the middle of a season. I’m committed to Allegri. He has the situation under control and I will defend him with all the energy I have,” said Adriano Galliani in a recent interview. He also quashed rumours that the striker Alexandre Pato was to leave the club in January.
