Gonzo hands out the marks

Areola:6 Had to divert a dangerous cross after Johnson lost his marker. Caught the ball a couple of times but Larnaca barely threatened even when 11 v 11.

Johnson:6 Caught ball watching early in the game. Did considerably better than Kehrer last week.

Zouma:6 Pipe and slippers time for Zouma who had little to do.

Ogbonna:6 Cruised through the game and could have taken the rest of the night off once Larnaca were reduced to 10 men.

Cresswell:7 Assisted Bowen for the Hammers third. Untroubled and got forward frequently.

Soucek 7: Played a holding midfield role. Assisted Mubama with a header from a corner.

Lanzini – makes the Irons tick

Lanzini:8 Lanzini makes West Ham tick. Shame he’s not featured more this season.

Paqueta:6 Attempted some difficult passes but his radar was a little off to begin with.

Bowen:8 Scored West Ham’s second just after half time following a Scamacca shot. Scored again with a wonderfully inventive header.

Fornals:8 Played more centrally than I expected and he was heavily involved. Hit the bar with a long-range curling effort. Demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship by trying to dissuade the referee from dismissing an opposition player who’d fouled him.

Scamacca:7 Scored in the 20th min, goalkeeper should have done better but great to see the £35m man smiling again. Created a goal for Bowen with a snap shot.

Cornet: 53rd min sub for Bowen. Looked rusty which is to be expected but he’s quick and will help the team if he stays fit.

Mubama: Replaced Paqueta as part of a triple substitution. Provided the moment of the night when he scored a poachers goal and West Ham’s 4th.

Ings: On for Scamacca

Potts: On for Soucek in the 68th min. Neat and tidy performance.

Laing: Replaced Zouma and made an early impression with a smart pass.
