West Ham 0 Southampton 3 player ratings: Who was the star as Charlie Austin, Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse goals down Hammers?

SOUTHAMPTON showed they are transforming themselves under Claude Puel - grabbing their fourth win on the spin in a 3-0 pasting.

Slaven Bilic's future looks on its last legs now, with thousands of Hammers fans streaming away from the London Stadium after their side went 2-0 down, before James Ward-Prowse grabbed a third in stoppage time.

But Bilic could well point fingers at his under-performing players, who were all over the shop in attack and defence.

Virgi van Dijk grabs the Dream Team star man rating, with an eight - the same marks as Charlie Austin scored and set one up.

Saints were quite simply a class above their opponents - and they thoroughly entertained at the London 2012 Olympic Stadium.

Meanwhile star signing Simone Zaza, Cheikhou Kouyate and Havard Nordtveit were all given fives - as the Hammers well and truly flopped.
