The scoreline remained 1-2 in favour of the visitors, and West Ham United came out as the eventual winners.
Here is how the West Ham United players were rated from their win against Southampton.
Lukasz Fabianski: 7
Made a number of crucial saves throughout the match to help his side get over the line against a resilient opposition.
Michail Antonio: 6
Did well to press the opposition on the run. Was caught off guard a few times while defending.
Angelo Ogbonna: 6
Sturdy performance from the centre back in the first half. Looked a bit shaky in the second though.
Issa Diop: 7
Kept his composure throughout the match and helped his side get all three points.
Aaron Cresswell: 6
Made some good runs with the ball in the danger area but his backtracking was not great.
Pedro Obiang: 7
Was given the nod ahead of Mark Noble and he made good utilisation of the opportunity by putting in a solid shift in midfield.
Declan Rice: 7
Reliable as ever. Partnered well with Obiang to break the opposition attacks before they could build.
Grady Diangana: 6
Did well in the midfield with his physicality and presence of mind.
Robert Snodgrass: 6
Made a few good runs into the danger area with the ball but lost his composure in the second half. Looked a bit fatigued as well.
Felipe Anderson: 8
The star of the show for the Hammers. Kept deceiving the opposition players with his classy footwork and agility. Cancelled out Redmond’s opener to score twice in quick succession to sink the Saints at St Mary’s in the second half.
Lucas Perez: 6
Led the line with grit. Didn’t look at his hundred per cent though.
Substitutes
Andy Carroll: 6
His physicality had some influence on the opposition defenders throughout the match.
Mark Noble: NA
Played too little to warrant a rating.
Arthur Masuaku: NA
Played too little to warrant a rating.
