That message was put on the big screens inside the London Stadium when the two teams walked ahead of kick-off, with all fans applauding as a result.West Ham manager David Moyes has praised football's response to the conflict and believes the game has an important role to play."I think the message football has given out - I saw the games yesterday - is a great message. Football is so important throughout the world, the Premier League is screened in every country around the world, so anything we can do to tell everybody this is wrong is important," Moyes was quoted as saying by standard.co.uk "I'm really pleased the players are doing everything they can to support Yarmolenko, but more importantly, to support Ukraine," he added.Other clubs too have shown their support to Ukraine during the course of the Premier League's weekend fixtures.Everton players had the Ukraine flag draped over them ahead of their match with Manchester City, who wore t-shirts with the Ukraine flag on over the top of their pre-match tracksuit tops.
