How we rated the Irons v Everton

Niall McDonald has returned and brings you his ratings from the improved Hammers performance against Everton this afternoon.

Adrian: Only really called into action once, and that was to gather his own fumble from a throw-in 5

Fonte: Looked more solid than I’ve seen him in previous games. Safety in numbers perhaps 6

Reid: Back in the side and marshalled the troops excellently 7

Collins: 110% concentration today with Lukaku around. Some trademark no nonsense defending 7

Masuaku: MOTM for me. Showed real pace and incisiveness in attack 8

Fernandes: The other bleach-blonde twin did his fair share of defensive work 5

Nordtveit: A VERY shaky start but improved. Broke up play regularly in the latter stages 6

Kouyate: Shook off an injury in the third minute to register our first attempt on goal about half an hour later 5

Lanzini: Always looking forward, virtually all of our attacks were started by, or involved Manu today 7

Ayew: Played in extremely short bursts. Frustrating 4

Calleri: Sakho’s warm-up man ploughed a very lonely furrow up front for an hour 4

Subs:

Sakho: Greeted with a standing ovation, he made a couple of harrying runs without getting a clear sight of goal 5

Cresswell: Bilic surprised a few round me by bringing Cresswell on at right wing-back late on. Had little impact 3
