‘A machine today’, ‘World class’ – Some West Ham fans drool over 22-yr-old’s display vs NUFC

West Ham United picked up a thrilling 4-2 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League yesterday.

The Hammers found themselves trailing twice in the game but they did well to bounce back and secure the three points in the end.

The likes of Aaron Cresswell, Said Benrahma, Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio scored for the visitors to complete an exciting comeback.

David Moyes will be delighted with the performance of his players, especially in the second half. His side showed character and the will to fight back and grind out a result.

Declan Rice in particular was outstanding in the second half of the game. The 22-year-old had a rocky start and he was put under pressure by Newcastle in the first half.

Rice was exceptional at breaking up the opposition play and setting up counter-attacking opportunities for the Hammers.
