Burglars ransack James McClean's home while he plays in West Brom's defeat at West Ham

James McClean

McClean had put West Brom ahead on the half-hour mark against the Hammers, but two goals from Andy Carroll – including a 94th-minute winner – meant the visitors left east London with nothing. 

And just to make things worse for the Republic of Ireland international, McClean's house was targeted by a bunch of thieves during the game.

McClean seethed on Instagram to his 111,000 followers: "When you get home from a last min defeat and your house has been robbed..thieving smelly b*****ds! Great night!"

Not the start to 2018 that the 28-year-old would have wanted.
