West Ham United 1 Swansea City 0: match report Andy Carroll, the £35-million man who just wants to be loved again, settled this one with just his second of the season. A goal carved in traditional east London grit, his towering header from Mark Noble's corner alleviated the ennui among the natives. It was a poor game and but for Gerhard Tremmel, an off-colour Swansea could have been battered. Swansea, all foreplay and no fornication, had nothing in the first 45 minutes, Pablo Hernandez's fleeting slaloms in to the box excluded. Michael Laudrup's Swansea have a Capital One Cup final to look forward to and while they have emerged from this season with credit, they were subdued here. It was rather apt that both sides appeared toothless in a week when Allardyce had one extracted, but Carroll had the final say. After 77 minutes of toiling and a tremendous Tremmel, Carroll's thunderous header earned West Ham their first win since New Year's Day. Allardyce slipped up in his pre-match press conference, referring to his managerial counterpart by his brother's name. The life of Brian had him smiling this time - West Ham's first win in 10.
