West Ham manager Alan Pardew praised his players for grinding out a 1-0 win over Sheffield United on new chairman Eggert Magnusson's first game as owner - but Argentina international Carlos Tevez is facing a fine for storming out of Upton Park after being substituted.
A goal from Hayden Mullins ended up settling a tense afternoon when the struggling Blades missed a host of second-half chances and had a stoppage-time goal disallowed.
Tevez had played his part and had been applauded when taken of in the second half. Yet he did not stay to see his team-mates hang on to their lead and Pardew is sure to demand an explanation on Monday.
He said: "He went straight home after the game and I am very disappointed about that. It has only happened to me once before.
"The first time was when I first arrived at West Ham and I fined the player a week's money because I think it is disrespectful to me, my staff and the players.
"I will have to listen to his excuse - I'm sure it is just disappointment but that is no good reason. We don't have that kind of discipline here."
