West Ham United's English midfielder Mark Noble (L) celebrates after scoring the opening goal from the penalty spot during a match against Hull City at The London Stadium on December 17, 2016

West Ham fans were so relieved by their team's 1-0 win over Hull that they named a goalpost as man of the match after the woodwork saved the Hammers three times.

A Mark Noble penalty gave Slaven Bilics side the three points in the Premier League clash at the London Stadium but Hull hit the woodwork on no less than three occasions from Andrew Robertson (twice) and Dieumerci Mbokani.

"With 57 per cent of the vote congratulations to The Post on securing today's Man of the Match award!," tweeted West Ham after the results of their supporters' poll.

The goalpost beat Cheikhou Kouyate (17 percent), Andy Carroll (14) and Winston Reid (12) in the vote.
