Player Ratings: West Ham v Everton

Gonzo gives his ratings

Fabianski:6 Not much to do in the first half but claimed a couple of crosses well and helped set-up a counter attack.

Coufal:6 Solid in defence and limited in attack. Not ideally suited to the wing back role.

Zouma:8 Great to see him back, and took his place on the right side of a back three. Immediately into the pace of the game with headers and interceptions. Sustained an injury in 28th min which didn’t look good. Never looked fully fit but played a crucial role in Bowen’s first goal. Surprised to see him come out for the second half.

Aguerd:9 Fantastic range of passing and started the game on the left side of defence. Probably the pick of our summer signings. Magnificent tackle on 76 mins.

Ogbonna:7 Least busy of the three central defenders but looked calm and steady.

Emerson:7 Fantastic cross for Zouma which led to the opening goal. Defensively susceptible and Everton began to target him in the second half. Forced a great save from Pickford with a great run in the second half.

Rice:6 Great ball in the first half set up Bowen. Crucial clearance at the beginning of the second half. Won the midfield battle and was unlucky not to score.

Paqueta:5 Helped out in midfield with a number of tackles.  His performance was all about industry rather than flair.

Bowen:9 Clumsy early start to the game with the ball getting stuck under his feet on a couple of occasions. Often double marked by Everton. Scored after 35 mins following a flick-on from the hobbling Zouma. Got his second a few minutes later with a poachers finish following great wing-play from Antonio.

Benrahma:6 Forced a good save from Pickford late in the first half. Not his best game but made a wonderful pass in the second half.

Antonio:8 Full of energy and clearly up for the game. His run from the right wing for Bowen’s second goal was classic Antonio. His best game for a while.

Soucek: Introduced for Paqueta as part of a double substitution. Broke up play and made things difficult for Everton to play.

Ings: 70th min substitute as Antonio tired. His first touch was a nutmeg against Davis which won The hammers some much needed breathing space. Looked lively and comfortable on the ball.

Downes: Late replacement for Benrahma. Killed time really well.

Johnson: 80th min sub for Emerson. Excellent run and cross down the left hand side.
