1/7

West Ham secured their first Premier League win in nine matches with a 3-1 triumph over Southampton to move themselves out of the relegation zone.

Giuseppe Muro was at the London Stadium for Standard Sport, and here are his West Ham ratings…

A solid afternoon after his howler against Liverpool on Monday night. Could do nothing about the Southampton goal.

Another assured display from the youngster after keeping his place at right-back. Kept the tricky Sofiane Boufal so quiet that the winger was hauled off about 54 minutes.

Missed a great chance with a free header in the first half but again defended well alongside Angelo Ogbonna.

Is forming and a good centre-back partnership with Issa Diop and been one of West Ham’s most consistent players this season.

Booked for a hacking down Shane Long in the second half

Handed a start by David Moyes after his goal against Liverpool and was excellent, ran himself into the ground and provided two assists for Jarrod Bowen and Michail Anotnio.

Had to be West Ham’s legs in midfield without the injured Tomas Soucek and, on his 100th West Ham appearance, was excellent.

West Ham’s Mr Reliable. Has been in relegation fights before and knows what is needed to get the Hammers out of trouble.

The £22million January signing scored on his first West Ham start with a bit of quality that the Hammers have been missing this season.

Scored West Ham’s third goal and alongside Sebastien Haller the pair caused problems all afternoon after David Moyes went with two up front.

Has struggled since his £45million move to West Ham but was outstanding and put the Hammers 2-1 ahead with a goal that could turn out to be a huge one in their fight to stay up.
