The Bray shot-stopper was not a happy man at half-time…
Darren Randolph’s club career at West Ham finally seems to be taking off as he started his second successive game for the Hammers in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
The 6’1″ goalkeeper put in an excellent display today, in the Hammers’ 1-1 draw. He made a number of crucial saves to keep his team in the match and to further frustrate under-fire manager Jose Mourinho.
On the stroke of half-time, Randolph made an incredible save as Jesse Lingard was put through one-on-one which had West Ham fans purring.
Oh my days @RandzOfficial is on fire 🔥

The source of Randolph’s ire towards the world most expensive footballer came as a result of the booking the Frenchman picked up for simulation. This ultimately led to Jose Mourinho getting send to the stands (yet again).

Randolph was clearly angry with Pogba’s attempt to win a free-kick for his team. So much that he decided to confront him as the teams were leaving the field at half-time.
We like to see this passion from Randolph who has no problem airing his views with the one of the games biggest superstars.
They went at it for a while on their way to the dressing room and it looks like Randolph was not backing down an inch.
Even Pogba cracked a smile at his determination to defend his team.
The Ireland international is definitely grasping the opportunity which Slaven Bilić has presented with both hands and the passion shown from him at half-time clearly displays how much this means to him.
From an Irish perspective, this can only be good news as he should keep the No.1 jersey for the foreseeable future after today’s excellent performance.
