When Jack Moylan completed his first-half hat-trick on Wednesday night, Scott Parker could’ve been forgiven for wondering if he was about to set the worst-possible…
Scott Parker avoided defeat in his debut match as West Ham United manager after his side recovered from a 3-0 deficit to secure a 3-3 draw against Cardiff. Cardiff forward Jack Moylan scored a first-half hat-trick within 39 minutes before half-time tactical adjustments allowed West Ham to salvage a point.
