Will Grigg’s fire terrifies West Ham out of the FA Cup

Ben Kiely

Let’s see how far we can get without referencing THAT Will Grigg chant.

Ladies and gentlemen, Will Grigg’s on fire (sorry, we tried).

The Northern Irish striker is currently playing in League One for Wigan Athletic. They just happened to meet Premier League side West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday. The difference between the sides,  a brace from the man who terrifies defenders with his flames.

One from open play, one from the spot – the perfect brace, some say.

While Grigg was notably on fire, how shite the Hammers were cannot be ignored.

West Ham had no shots on goal or chances created in the entire game.Plus, Arthur Masuaku was sent off for spitting at Nick Powell. The disgusting act will see him earn a mandatory six-game ban to compound the misery for Hammers fans.

Maybe he was just trying to put Grigg’s flames out and he missed? Probably not, but maybe! At the time of writing, he is the top scorer of the whole competition.
