West Ham United entertained Aston Villa at the London Stadium earlier today as they focused on securing all three points at home in the Premier League. The Hammers made a good start to the contest and scored the opener in the 29th minute thanks to Michail Antonio’s effort. The East London club went into the half-time interval 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Nicolo Zaniolo equalised for the visitors in the 79th minute as David Moyes’ men were held to a lackluster 1-1 draw in front of their home fans.
Let’s take a look at how each West Ham United player performed during the match against the Villans.
GK: Alphonso Areola – 7/10
He made some important saves at the back but won’t be happy after conceding a late equaliser.
RB: Vladimir Coufal – 7/10
Coufal caught the eye at times and has got an assist to show for his efforts.
CB: Kostas Mavropanos – 6.5/10
He did his fair share of defending and was a threat going forward.
CB: Kurt Zouma – 6.5/10
The French talent cleared the danger when he could but was a bit wasteful with his passing.
LB: Emerson Palmieri – 6/10
He struggled to get into the flow of the game and was replaced in the 83rd minute.
CM: Edson Alvarez – 6.5/10
Alvarez offered solid protection for his teammates at the back and was tidy with his ball distribution.
CM: Tomas Soucek – 7/10
He anchored the midfield well and was strong in the air.
RW: Jarrod Bowen – 7/10
Bowen was a real menace in the final third but has got nothing to show for his efforts.
CAM: Lucas Paqueta – 7/10
Paqueta was a positive influence at both ends of the field.
LW: Mohammed Kudus – 6/10
He made two promising runs with the ball but never looked like he would score.
ST: Michail Antonio – 7.5/10
Antonio worked his socks off in the opponent’s half and scored the opener in the 29th minute.
Substitutes:
RM: Ben Johnson – 6/10
He made one decent run with the ball.
LB: Aaron Cresswell – N/A
CM: James Ward-Prowse – N/A
