Congestion and Coleman leave Grant with festive headache

AVRAM GRANT hit out at the scheduling that forced West Ham to play twice in three days after last night’s 1-1 draw against an Everton side who had an eight-day break before the match.

West Ham took the lead through a Tony Hibbert own goal before a fine back-post finish from Donegal man Seamus Coleman.

The draw wasn’t enough to lift West Ham out of the bottom three in the Premier League and came just two days after winning 3-1 at Fulham.
