Mark Noble found it difficult to cope with that last minute equaliser from Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
West Ham’s trip to Selhurst Park on Saturday looked set to be some much-needed respite for Hammers manager Slaven Bilic after goals from Javier Hernandez and Andre Ayew gave the visitors a 2-0 lead at half-time.
Palace’s Luka Milivojevic converted a penalty five minutes after the break to give the hosts a lifeline but Bilic’s men looked to have held out for all three points.
But in the sixth minute of injury time, Wilfried Zaha found a surprising amount of space on the left side of the Hammers box, cut inside and found the net with the last kick of the game, guaranteeing a share of the spoils between the London rivals.
Given the nature of the comeback, Palace’s players understandably celebrated the result raucously as they were made to work hard for the point.
But, apparently, West Ham captain Noble didn’t take too kindly to the opposition’s revelries and confronted Palace’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek after the game.

Noble had to be led away from the clash by goalkeeper Joe Hart but was clearly furious.
Only last week, the midfielder called a meeting with his players in the hope of galvanising the side but it doesn’t seem to have had quite the desired result.
Mark Noble and Loftus-Cheek are getting angry at each other at full time as well.
