Manuel Pellegrini admitted that he was ashamed of his players after the humiliating West Ham outing of AFC Wimbledon in favor of the FA Cup.

The Hammers, 10th in the Premier League, were rightly beaten 4-2 by a team in the bottom of the League One.

They found themselves three after a minute in the second half after goals from Kwesi Appiah and two from Scott Wagstaff.

Lucas Perez and Felipe Anderson replaced the hope of a return, but they went out when Toby Sibbick scored the fourth quarter of play time.

Boss Pellegrini then gave no punch and said, "Was I angry at half-time? Yes of course. I was ashamed of them.

"I did not expect it, the attitude towards a team that is two divisions below us, but in football, you can lose in two or three balls.

"They started as we needed to start and when you have such a high rhythm with the quality of the players and we did not have the same level."

Marko Arnautovic was expelled from the group following his recent flirtation with a move to China.

Ten minutes after the final whistle, West Ham announced that the Austrian striker had signed a new contract.

Pellegrini, not at all impressed by the whole Arnautovic saga this month, even refused to discuss the announcement, insisting angrily: "I'm only talking about the cup.

"Ask me questions about the game today and I will answer you, any other questions I will not answer."
