Hammers ratings at Bournemouth

Hughie hands out the marks

Fabianski: Wonderful first and second half saves, distribution better than ever, Decent game 7

Coufal: Good at the back although beaten once for a dangerous cross and very much on the case when going forward 7

Aguerd: Too easily beaten on a couple of occasionin first half – warmed to it during second 6

Zouma: Composed as ever. Not exactly rock solid as Bournemouth woke up but little gets past him 7

Cresswell: Back in for Emerson and looking the usual threat going forward without ever pinpointing his crosses 6

Soucek: Lots of decent defensive work and great interceptions as Dec got forward 7

Rice: Another fine performance plus a fine driven goal. He’s an eight or nine every week 8

Paqueta: Always doing the unusual, rose brilliantly for his headed goal and full of clever passes and tricks. He’s helping to change the season 8

Benrahma: Let’s be brutally honest and by comparison to Paqueta gave us nothing. The shot at the end of a brilliant build up was so poor and there was little else from him. Lanzini must wonder what he has to do to get past him 3

Bowen: Quality again providing two assists and supplying the positional sense for those out balls. 7

Antonio: Fine headed goal and always a menace to a very average defence when he went on the run, Hopefully not injured after a couple of heavy knocks.7

Subs:

Fornals An amazing goal with a scorpion  kick which was worth a ten by itself. Always busy

Ings: Well he certainly isn’t Mikey is he. Little impact

Downes: Near, tidy and constructive and saw thwarted a fine save from one shot

Cornet: Late “goal” ruled out for offside and always busy

Kehrer: Very late arrival for Vladi Coufal
