Lee Bowyer Haunting West Ham

The Guardian, The Independent, The Star and The Express all start their match reports on last night's game with some form of the words,

"Lee Bowyer came back to haunt West Ham."

Sam Allardyce was particularly incensed with losing the game so close to full-time,

"We thought we had learned our lesson and clearly we haven't done that. I keep telling the players about respecting the point. Coming off nil-nil would have been a good point for us because I didn't think we were at our best - particularly in the first half.

"We can ill afford to throw points away but more importantly we can't do that at Upton Park. We really have to eradicate that because we have to make up those points away from home and while we have been magnificent in terms of our results away from home we won't always keep going away from home and winning."
