Match of the Day and BT Sports presenter Gary Lineker made a cheeky quip on Twitter that made fun of Slaven Bilic's new hair transplant and West Ham's woes this season, as reported by theDaily Mail.
The Hammers managed to end their dismal run in the Premier League with 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday, but onlookers also noticed Bilic sporting fuller locks than many had been accustomed to since his arrival at West Ham in 2015.
Before the win, the pressure had been on the Croatian after suffering five disappointing defeats in the Hammers' opening seven matches and Lineker made a joke out of Bilic's new found hair.
The former Spurs and Barcelona striker wrote: "Most managers under the cosh might lose their hair, Slaven Bilic appears to be gaining it."

The former Besiktas manager, 48, went for the hair transplant at the end of last season, just before he appeared as a pundit for ITV during their coverage of Euro 2016.
His appearance, which was met with rave reviews, also had viewers speculating on the transplant after spotting signs on his head of the recent procedure. There had been red pin pricks on his head, which was scarring from where the extra hair was added.
And four months later, Bilic is now reaping the benefits of it with clearly visible improvement, which he, like Hammers fans, will be transplanted onto the pitch.
