What makes it all the sweeter was the fact it was clearly a foul on the keeper ???????

Would a prime Winston Reid be a starting defender for the Hammers?Yes, would be better than what we have
No, wouldn't be better than what we have

The goal scored by Reid in the clash with the London club’s fierce rivals was the winner in a 2-1 victory for the Irons at Upton Park (per BBC).
So, with supporters in the knowledge that the goal sealed a victory over Millwall, they continued airing their love for it when the club shared the footage to social media (per West Ham).
Still to this day can’t believe he hasn’t given a foul on the keeper but so very glad he didn’t ??

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these West Ham supporters, they loved the trip down memory lane to the game where the Hammers defeated Millwall 2-1.
With the defeat to the Irons having condemned Millwall to their fifth defeat in six games at the time also (per BBC), it seems likely that will make the goal all the sweeter for the London Stadium faithful.
