Ratings 2: Irons v Spurs

CandH ratings man Niall McDonald hands out his marks

Fabianski: Not much he could do as the goals flew past him – one sharp save avoided a 4th going in and proved more important than I thought it was going to be at the time 6
Coufal: More right-back than wing-back today – struggled early on, and had a lot of the pitch to cover 5
Ogbonna: Improved throughout the game and was driving the team forward by the end. Bonus mark for blocking Winks for the equaliser 7
Balbuena: Poor for the Spurs opener. Excellent header started an extremely unlikely comeback 6
Cresswell: Contributed some excellent, vital crosses 6
Masuaku: Tough game today – dare I say improving defensively? Maybe I’m delirious with the comeback 5
Rice: Outnumbered in the middle with Soucek – stuck at it 5
Soucek: A game where he looked a little limited creatively. Still managed to get in position for a few trademark headers 5
Fornals: Just a few inches to short to get a header into the open goal 6
Bowen: Carried most threat just before the break, otherwise found Spurs defence too strong (pre-collapse) 6
Antonio: Found it very difficult to get going today; looked to have ice on his thigh, hopefully not serious 5

Subs
Lanzini: What. A. Goal. Gerrard-esque perfection – into Hammers folklore and deserved it after a really bad time 10!!!
Yarmolenko: Bundled Bale over superbly when it looked like he was going to get his trademark last minute goal 5
Snodgrass: On late for a draw-bonus, if such a thing exists. Won a couple of free-kicks to keep the pressure on Spurs defence  No rating
