Hugh hands out his marks
Fabianski: No chance with three quality goals – a couple of routine saves – an afternoon he would probably sooner sooner forget after recent outings 6
Coufal: As ever, did very little wrong and an awful lot right and his ball control is a joy to watch 7
Dawson: On a difficult day to pick a MOM for the Hammers I’ll go for the centre defender. Always putting his body on the line, made some important blocks and grabbed a goal 7+
Cresswell: Not his afternoon at all. Caught out defensively here and there and very few crosses of any consequence 5
Bowen: Non-stop running but little he could offer offensively with Liverpool in charge by and large 6+
Rice: Really not his day. Booked for a late one, a cross-field pass straight into touch and second-best to the visitors’ midfield 5+
Soucek: More or less the same even down to the booking – not the day our heartbeat really ticked 5+
Fornals: Worked hard and some nice touches here and there before being subbed 5+
Benrahma: He looks more and more the part – some really nice touches and tried his heart out 7
Antonio: Missed one decent chance on the turn, worked hard but like the rest of the team didn’t offer aenough 5+
Subs:
Yarmolenko 5, Noble 4, Fredericks4 Not really a game-changer in there. The game passed them by
