THIS game proved to be a case of the one that got away for West Ham as Aston Villa took all three points, courtesy of Jhon Duran – a player who the Hammers have been trying to sign all summer.
While West Ham fielded five of their eight new signings for at least some of the game, it was Duran who came up with the winner.
