Benny breaks duck to raise Moyes hopes

Said Benrahama finally broke his duck yesterday by scoring his first – and quite brilliant – goal for West Ham.

It may only have salvaged the point against Brighton rather than secure an important win but it was a major step for the Algerian Hammer.

Goals build on confidence and hopefully, this first goal opens the flood gates on many more to come.

That’s been the view of those who have come down on the side of the former Brentford ace.

It should also go a long way to dispel the conspiracy theory that Benrahma was not a David Moyes pick and he didn’t really want him.

However, the boss chose his words carefully when discussing the goal after the game rather than offering lavish praise simply saying: “We have been waiting on a goal and we got one tonight.

We brought him in with that in mind and I am glad he has got that first goal and hopefully he will go on and get a lot more.”

Benrahama hopefully has a great West Ham future ahead of him and has just taken the majority of the season to adjust to the Premier League but he seems to now to be coming into his best form.

Moyes protected Jarrod Bowen in the same way and levelled the same criticism at him, some players respond to that type of feedback.

Next season will undoubtedly be a massive season for Benrahama to make his mark.
