'Fantastic performance' – Some West Ham fans lavish praise on 25-yr-old after 3-0 win – originally posted on Sportslens.com
West Ham United picked up a 3-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League yesterday and the Hammers have secured qualification for the Europa League next season.
First-half goals from Pablo Fornals and a late strike from Declan Rice sealed a hugely impressive season for the London club.
The Hammers will be slightly disappointed to have missed out on Champions League qualification after the position they were in a few weeks ago but it has been a successful season for them and it will be interesting to see if David Moyes can build on this and help West Ham challenge for a top-four place next year.
The Londoners will need a couple of intelligent signings to improve their attack and add some depth next year.
The home team were quite impressive against a mediocre Southampton side and midfielder Fornals stood out with his spectacular display.
The midfielder not only scored a brace in the first half, but his passing and creativity was also integral to the London side’s dominant performance.
The 25-year-old playmaker had a mixed start to the campaign but he has certainly managed to win the fans over by the end of the season.
Some of the West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Spaniard’s performance yesterday and here is what they had to say.
