The Graham Potter era at West Ham got off to a disappointing and controversial start when Aston Villa came from behind to beat Potter’s side 2-1 and knock it out of the FA Cup on Friday. The third-round match will be remembered for a poor decision in the buildup to Morgan Rogers' winning goal.

New West Ham United manager Graham Potter said there were plenty of positives to take from his side's FA Cup third-round defeat by Aston Villa on Friday and that there was no shortage of talent in the squad.

There will be no more bubbles blown for Julen Lopetegui at West Ham, who fired the Spanish coach on Wednesday and announced Graham Potter as his replacement. Potter has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and was unveiled as the club’s new manager at a press conference on Thursday.
