Joey Barton has criticized West Ham summer signing Joe Hart claiming that he should have saved the second goal during the Hammers 3-0 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion on Friday.
Glenn Murray scored only on in the match to give the Seagulls a 1-0 lead before Jose Izquierdo scored a second during second half stoppage time following a beautiful strike.
However, Barton feels that the England international Hart should have saved the shot and questioned the goalkeeper by stating on Twitter.
Keepers got to save that! 0-2.

Such poor performances will no doubt put Hart’s England position in tatters and Jack Butland will now fancy his chances of being first choice keeper for the Three Lions at the 2018 World Cup.
The 30 year old Hart joined the Hammers on a season long loan deal this summer after being frozen out of Manchester City’s plans by Pep Guardiola at the start of last season. He did not play well at Torino last season and has not started life at the Hammers on a good note.
