Man of the match
There are a host of stars that this award could go to tonight for West Ham, it feels cruel to single out one man in such a spectacular team performance.
Jarrod Bowen was brilliant up front in the false nine role, scoring a stunning volley and going to war for his team when needed.
Lucas Paqueta showed flashes of brilliance, but was also persistent and strong in midfield and showed brutality when required.
The SunSport man of the match though, goes to Mohammed Kudus.
The Ghanaian winger was imperious in the right wing position, and scored the pick of the bunch with a wonderful touch inside, followed by a strike that nutmegged Gabriel and beat Ramsdale in goal.
Shades of Riyad Mahrez from the summer signing tonight, and he is starting to look like a bargain.
