Claret and Hugh Associate editor Sean Whetstone gives out the ratings today: for Aston Villa v West Ham
Lukasz Fabianski – Usual Fab – solid game in between the sticks. 6
Ben Johnson – Amazing start from the youngster with a goal on his weaker left foot. 9
Kurt Zouma – Great partnership with Ogbonna and a tower of strength. 7
Angelo Ogbonna – Great game if you ignore that dreadful backpass and could have done better with Villa goal. 6
Aaron Cresswell – Got forward well and another good game for Cressy 7
Declan Rice – My man of the math, one goal and one assist and was everywhere 10
Tomas Soucek – Towering in the air and so important for the defence of set pieces but misses chances upfront 6
Pablo Fornals A mixed game for Spanaird both good and bad but got a late goal as his reward. 7
Said Benrahma Like Fornals a mixed game of good and not so good but got an assist but was subbed off. 6
Jarrod Bowen off Looked great going forward and scored a goal 8
Michail Antonio – Marked off of the game but had his normal physical battles with defenders Quiet game for him with no goals. 7
Substitutes
Manuel Lanzini Was unselfish when setting up Bowen but looked good and has regained form 7
Vladimir Coufal – No rating
Nikola Vlasic – No rating
