Ratings 2 as Hammers beat Saints

|

Macca hands out his marks

Fabianski: Saved everything Southampton threw at him 8
Coufal: Got a great reception from the fans and put in a typical display 8
Dawson: Another towering defensive demonstration at the back 8
Ogbonnna: Celebrated his 33rd birthday with a clean sheet and 3 points 8
Cresswell: Played his part in shutting out Saints; looked to have so much time 8
Rice: Brilliant this afternoon – defended and covered spaces and capped off with a fine goal 9
Soucek: Millimetres from getting another goal. Genuinely looked over the moon at the final whistle, or however they say that in the Czech Republic 7
Fornals: Showed the other side to his game with 2 hugely deserved goals 9
Lingard: His last game? Maybe but hopefully not. Looks fantastic running with the ball 7
Bowen: Subbed off again, but not before he’d shown his usual commitment and flashes of attacking quality 8
Antonio: The end of a brilliant season. No sightings of goal but still caused a few problems to the Southampton defence 7

Subs
Benrahma: Crowd were willing him to turn on some magic. Blasted his one chance into the side netting 6
Noble: Not sure he touched the ball but who cares – will be setting off on a European farewell tour in the summer  No rating
