West Ham west Ham decided to appoint Brendan Rodgers as a new manager due to secured the three points against Newcastle at St James’ Park on Monday with a 2-0 victory.
Tomas Soucek opened the scoring early on for the visitors with a well-timed header and Aaron Wan-Bissaka doubled the lead for Julen Lopetegui’s side.
Despite creating half decent chances, the Magpies never really appeared to mount a comeback on 25 November.
Here are the player ratings for this one:
Lukasz Fabianski – 7
Showed great anticipation whenever called upon, not just to make saves but also while reading crosses. He was authoritative while coming out to claim the ball and never looked shaky between the sticks. If it was an audition to regain the number one spot, he’s certainly passed it.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka scores an unlikely goal for West Ham
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 9
Was an unlikely goal scorer after an impressive first half both in terms of his defending and positioning. For the goal too, he made an important darting run and Jarrod Bowen found him with a pass but it was a stunning finish from the right-back. With Jean-Clair Todibo going off and Vladimir Coufal coming on later, there was plenty of adjustment to do and he did it seamlessly which was extremely pleasing to watch for the Hammers fans.

Jean-Clair Todibo – 4
Went off with an injury but even before that, looked shaky in defence for the Hammers. He almost gave the ball away inside his own box and that surely would’ve handed a goal to the hosts. According to Sofascore, he also made an error leading to a shot which isn’t ideal.
