Angelo Ogbonna scored the only goal as West Ham battled to a 1-0 win over Everton.

Simon Collings was at Goodison Park to run the rule over the Hammers…

Lukasz Fabianksi 6

Didn’t have too much to do on a fairly quiet afternoon. Anything that did come the Pole’s way he dealt with little fuss.

Ben Johnson 6

Pretty solid defensively, but didn’t offer the same threat going forward as Vladimir Coufal does.

Kurt Zouma 7

Another good game from the Frenchman, who has slotted in seamlessly since his move from Chelsea this summer.

Angelo Ogbonna 8 | Star man

Probably West Ham’s best player across the 90 minutes. Made a number of vital blocks and popped up with the winning goal too.

Aaron Cresswell 7

A decent display from the left-back, who looked to cause problems when he was able to get forward. Solid in defence.

Declan Rice 8

The midfielder is just so vital to this West Ham team. Barely put a foot wrong all game and, particularly in the first-half, controlled the game.

Tomas Soucek 7

Screened the defence well along with Rice and put himself about. Had a goal ruled out for offside.

Jarrod Bowen 6

Supplied the goal with a great corner. Went close in the first-half too with an effort that Soucek tapped in, only for the Czech to be flagged offside.

Said Benrahma 5

Lots of nice build-up play, but his game was lacking an end product. A frustrating afternoon for the playmaker.

Pablo Fornals 6

Neat and tidy throughout the game. Went close to scoring when he tried to bend one in from the edge of the box.

Michail Antonio 5

A quiet afternoon for the striker. Worked his socks off as always, but failed to get many chances. Booked for diving.

Substitutions

Craig Dawson (Soucek 79’) N/A

Manuel Lanzini (Benrahma 87’) N/A

Subs not used: Areola, Yarmolenko, Vlasic, Diop, Masuaku, Ashby, Baptiste.
