You just see our fans – there were 62,000 people in the stands and we let them down.”This is the more disappointing feeling.”When it was suggested that the big crowds at London Stadium may galvanise opponents, Nuno replied: “The crowd is for us and we let them down today. We were not able to do what they deserved, which was to win.”West Ham miss late penalty to lose to Charlton
