West Ham are a goal behind at the break in this evening's Carling Cup tie with League Two Macclesfield.
The Silkmen - who have lost all three of their League games so far this season and sit one place off the bottom of the Football League - silenced the home crowd after just five minutes when Ahmed Deen's 4th minute corner found its way into the net via the head of Gareth Evans.After the early shock Alan Curbishley's side fought their way back into the game and Freddie Sears and Luis Boa Morte both went close to equalising. But United's best chance of the opening period fell to Dean Ashton who was the width of a crossbar away from levelling the scores on the stroke of half-time.
Unsurprisingly the Hammers - who lost new-signing Valon Behrami after the Swiss defender sustained a facial injury - left the field at the break to a resounding chorus of boos. We'll have more for you at the final whistle.
