West Ham United fans disgraced themselves by singing a vile Kurt Zouma chant before their side's Premier League fixture against Leicester City on Sunday.Zouma was named in the starting XI by manager David Moyes despite backlash after footage of the defender kicking and striking his pet cat in front of his child.The defender has been fined two week's wages - amounting to £250,000 - by his club, and has seen his two pets taken away from him.
