Julen Lopetegui's tenure as West Ham United Head Coach began with a narrow opening day defeat against Aston Villa at London Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors found themselves in firm control when Amadou Onana nodded them into a fourth-minute lead, taking advantage of some loose West Ham marking to head home, but Lucas Paquetá levelled from the penalty spot to ensure the sides would go in at half-time locked at 1-1.
Jhon Duran’s 79th minute strike ultimately proved the difference and was enough to hand the visitors all three points.
The Hammers had their chances – especially in a much-improved second half– but failed to capitalise and ultimately it proved to be an afternoon of frustration for Lopetegui’s side.
