The No 17 – currently back at Rush Green following the closure of his season in Sweden with IFK Norrköping- produced some very direct and pacy moments in the hammering.
And he provided a fine assist from a free kick which almost gave the visitors a first half goal from a fine header superbly saved by Jordan Pickford.
A little later he tried to follow up on a shot which rebounded from the England keeper but couldn’t adjust his body shape and the chance went begging.
However, he was always get to get forward at pace when the Montenegro side broke out of their own half and he certainly looked quicker and more direct than various members of the Hammers midfield of late.
Meanwhile Winston Reid made a major step down his recovery road when he started for New Zealand against the Republic of Ireland last night.
He completed the first half before being subbed at the interval.
