Twitter reacts to West Ham’s first Premier League game in the London Stadium
West Ham played their first Premier League game in their new stadium on Sunday, beating Bournemouth 1-0 and registering their first three points of the new campaign.Fans were left disappointed until the 84thminute, when Michail Antonio met a cross at the far post and headed in to score the Hammers’ first league goal at the London Stadium.This followed Bournemouth’s Harry Artergetting a red card in the 77th minute afterdragging back Cheikhou Kouyate on the halfway line.Jonathan Calleri missed a glorious chance with the last kick of the game when he was put through one-on-one. Calleri picked up the ball on the halfway line and ran into the 18-yard box before putting his shot wide.The late goal brought some cheer to Hammers fans after a pretty miserable weekend that saw striker Andy Carroll join the Hammers extensive injury list. The big forward is out until October after picking up a knee injury in the Europe tie with Astra Giurgiu on Thursday.The match at the new London Stadium attracted an official crowd of 56,977.RECORD: Today's attendance is a Club-record 56,977! Thank you for your magnificent support! [1-0]⚒#WHUBOUpic.twitter.com/7I2Q42zGVv— West Ham United (@WestHamUtd)August 21, 2016Football fans around the country watched the game live on Sky Sports, andthe overriding consensus was that the London Stadium lacked atmosphere and some seats were too far from the pitch.Even West Ham fans have yet to be won over, but it’s early days and the Hammershierarchy will be keen to settle in and start working on the atmosphere. Here’s a selection of fans’ reactions during the game.I've never been in a stadium as noisy as West Ham's When it was the Olympics. It's was awesome. Good match under lights will be bouncing— mikenumber5 (@MikeNumber5)August 21, 2016There are astronauts on the iss closer to the pitch than some of the westham fans at the Olympic stadium— Ian Burgess (@Dalejake)August 21, 2016Don't get me wrong the Olympic stadium looks impressive but when I think of West ham, I think of Upton park and the atmosphere there— Claire (@clairemcburnie)August 21, 2016West Ham's new stadium looks a bit too spacious, fans used to be closest to the pitch, now bloody milesaway!#WHUFC⚒— Mike Sheen (@sheenaaay)August 21, 2016The new West Ham stadium looks so nice inside— nonce (@amyymart1n)August 21, 2016Watching first West Ham match at new Olympic Stadium Grounds.

We didn't want it.— West Ham Photos⚒(@whufcphotos)August 21, 2016West Ham’s next match at the London Stadium is on Thursday when they attempt to progress in the Europa League by finishing off Astra Giurgiu. The Hammers drew 1-1 in Romania but should have made the tie safe. Their nextPremier League home game is on 10 September against Watford.In other West Ham team newsco-owner David Gold has said he’s never seen anything like this in 23 years of football.
