The sound of West Ham fans singing “I’m forever blowing bubbles” could still be heard around the bars of the London Stadium an hour after beating Liverpool. Liverpool hadn’t only been prevented from going a club-record 26th match unbeaten. Jurgen Klopp’s side was also dislodged from third place in the Premier League by West Ham with a 3-2 victory on Sunday. There hasn’t been much to celebrate at West Ham, especially in the five years since moving into the stadium at the centerpiece of the 2012 Olympics.

Unbelievable atmosphere

It’s still an imperfect venue, reconfigured around a running track, but the fan dissent and disorder is fading into the past as David Moyes has the club dreaming of unprecedented highs and its fans happily singing the club anthem. “This season reminds me of the Boleyn Ground,” West Ham’s forward Michail Antonio said of the old stadium. “The atmosphere inside, everything to do with West Ham right now is unbelievable.” West Ham, whose highest top-tier league finish was third in 1986, is looking like title contenders two years after Moyes took charge of a team a point above the relegation zone.
