Yahoo News West Ham player ratings vs Liverpool: Pablo Fornals and Kurt Zouma shine; Declan Rice steps up again
West Ham ended Liverpool’s unbeaten run to move third in the Premier League with a stunning 3-2 win at the London Stadium.
Here is how Jack Rosser rated the Hammers…
Lukasz Fabianski 6
Stranded for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s goal but made an important save from Sadio Mane in the second half. Not at fault for Divock Origi’s goal.
Ben Johnson 7
Another strong showing from the academy graduate. Gave Mane very little and should keep his place after the break.
Angelo Ogbonna 6
Played a big role in the opener going up with Alisson, unlucky to be forced off with a cut above the eye.
Kurt Zouma 8
Fantastic at the back throughout and found space well to head home his first West Ham goal.
Aaron Cresswell 8
Kept Mohamed Salah very quiet in open play and was once again superb over the dead ball with his assist for Zouma.
Declan Rice 7
Stepped up in the second half and took control of midfield as West Ham ripped through Liverpool.
Tomas Soucek 6
Much improved from recent performances and disrupted the visitors during the second half.
Jarrod Bowen 7
Struggled to keep hold of the ball in the first half but superb on the break to setup Fornals in the second.
Said Benrahma 7
Backed up a strong show in the week with a fine second half display here causing Alexander-Arnold plenty of problems.
Pablo Fornals 8
Superb delivery from the corner with the opener and calm in front of goal, could have had a second moments after his first.
Michail Antonio 7
Wasted possession far too much in the first half but a key figure on the break after the interval.
Substitutes
Craig Dawson 7
Won the ball to start the move for West Ham’s second goal and was no nonsense a the back.
Vladimir Coufal n/a
Arthur Masuaku n/a
