# West Ham United: Fans react as David Moyes guides club to fifth in the Premier League

**Flocking to an [ExWHUemployee tweet](https://twitter.com/ExWHUemployee/status/1333550126053339137), plenty of West Ham fans cannot believe their club has climbed to [fifth in the Premier League table](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) – going on to hail the turnaround under David Moyes after the Hammers beat Aston Villa on Monday night.**

An early goal from towering centre-back Angelo Ogbonna gave West Ham a very early lead before star opposition playmaker Jack Grealish equalised with a stunning deflected effort past Lukasz Fabianski.

However, soon after the restart, substitute Said Benrahma clipped in a floating cross to Jarrod Bowen who scored the eventual winning goal – with West Ham going on to survive the onslaught from Dean Smith’s side to climb into a Europa League spot.

Discussing the development surrounding their side’s lofty Premier League position, plenty of Hammers have had their say – find all of their best verdicts down below.
