West Ham vs Tottenham player ratings: Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma shine despite defeat

Lukasz Fabianksi - Two deflections did not help the Pole one bit in the first half, made a number of routine saves as the game wore on. 6

Ben Johnson - Played deeper than Arthur Masuaku on the opposite flank and was more defensively solid as a result. Created little going forward. 6

Craig Dawson - Made a number of important blocks, good in the air and a generally steady performance until his error for Tottenham's third goal 6

Kurt Zouma - Unfortunate for both Tottenham's first-half goals and poor mistake for the third. His worst game in a West Ham shirt. 5

Aaron Cresswell - Struggled in the first-half with little help from Masuaku, improved once he had the assistance of Pablo Fornals. 5

Declan Rice - Will be disappointed to have missed an interception in the build-up to Tottenham's second goal, far better in the second half where he got on the ball more often. 6

Tomas Soucek - Quiet match from the Czech who saw a lot of the game pass him by. Worked hard as always. 5

Arthur Masuaku (off 57') - Had an awful afternoon, out of position in defence and offering little in attack. Poor decision from David Moyes to include him and a costly one at that. 3

Manuel Lanzini (off 83') - A much improved second half from the Argentine who found pockets of space and passed it well. 6

Said Benrahma - Took his goal exceptionally well, worked hard off the ball but struggled creatively. 6

Michail Antonio (off 57') - Missed a fantastic chance with his last kick of the game, had a quiet afternoon and understandably looked leggy. 5

Subs:

Pablo Fornals (on 57') - Upped the Hammers intensity and creativity after his introduction. 7

Andriy Yarmolenko (on 57') - Missed a half chance soon after coming on and had little else by way of a sight at goal, showed great desire to help the defence, one occasion saw him sprint the length of the pitch in pursuit of Son. 6

Nikola Vlasic (on 83') - n/a
