Oh to be a fly on the wall of the away dressing room when David Moyes returned to deal with Arthur Masuaku after the final whistle at the DW Stadium.
The Congolese full-back, signed from Olympiakos for £6 million in 2016, has been one of the few success stories for West Ham United this season and has become something of a cult hero among fans.
But this afternoon he looked to commit a senseless act, spitting at an opponent, meaning that he is suspended for the next six matches.
Four minutes into the second half, the wing-back appeared to Masuaku at Nick Powell, the Wigan Athletic midfielder, just before he was about to take a throw-in. Chris Kavanagh, the referee, showed Masuaku a red card.
