West Ham defender Masuaku admits he didn't mean Chelsea winner

West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku admits he didn't mean his winner against Chelsea on Saturday.

Hammers boss David Moyes conceded that Masuaku got 'lucky' with the cross that flew past Edouard Mendy in the 87th minute but felt his side deserved the break.

"It was a great cross!" joked Moyes.

"You have to get the ball in the box and we've all seen other types of goals from crosses where it has dipped over the goalkeeper in at the back post.

"I think we have to say it is a bit of a lucky goal. You have to take what you get in football and today we got that goal to win."

As debate raged over his intentions among fans and pundits, the Congolese defender tweeted: "So, was it a cross or was it a shot? (hint: I was as surprised as you)."
