West Ham United Player Ratings
Lukasz Fabianski (6/10)
Had just one big save to make in the first half before the Clarets scored. He was unable to do much about Woods’ header.
Pablo Zabaleta (9/10)
Defended like a warrior on the night. Showed endless energy as he surged up and down the field.
Issa Diop (7/10)
He dominated the Burnley attackers and played out the right passes at the back. He was solid when the attackers ran at him as well.
Fabian Balbuena (7/10)
Made a couple of brilliant tackles and was superb in the first half.
Aaron Cresswell (6/10)
Got forward well although he wasn’t utilised much on the night. He didn’t do anything wrong either.
Declan Rice (7/10)
Showed great pace and work rate in the middle of the park.
Pedro Obiang (6/10)
His link-up play was good and his passing was precise on the night. Lasted an hour before he was replaced by Chicharito.
Robert Snodgrass (7/10)
Really good first half as he dictated the tempo well in the midfield. He played some superb incisive passes as well. However, he had a quiet second half.
Grady Diangana (8/10)
He saw plenty of the ball early on and was unfortunate not to win a penalty. He was a constant thorn in the side of Burnley throughout the game.
Felipe Anderson (9/10)
A much better display from the Brazilian as he picked up 2 goals and an important assist.
Marko Arnautovic (8/10)
Kept threatening Joe Hart’s goal to ultimately find the net. He pressed well to nick the ball off James Tarkowski for the first goal.
Substitutes
Chicharito (7/10)
Came on and placed the icing on the cake with a fourth goal. He made a few intelligent runs behind the defence.
Michail Antonio (6/10)
Produced a really good assist for Chicharito’s goal.
Angelo Ogbonna (5/10)
Didn’t have much to do apart from seeing out the game.
