West Ham picked up their first win of the season this afternoon
But not everyone wanted to join the party.
West Ham’s summer signing, Lucas Perez, appeared to refuse Manuel Pellegrini’s instructions to warm up during this afternoon’s match away to Everton.

The Hammers did not need Perez’s help in securing the win, as a brace from Andriy Yarmolenko gave them a two goal cushion, before Marco Arnautović’s goal put the game beyond doubt.
But fans were left fuming by the apparently lack of desire from Perez to play any part in the 3-1 win.
Lucas Perez refusing to warm up? Bloke’s lucky he’s on the bench. Shown very little either at Arsenal or West Ham, that he is good enough

Jog Lucas Perez on and stick Xande Silva or Nathan Holland on the bench. #whufc
