West Ham ace Pablo Fornals was in exceptional form for West Ham during our 1-0 win over Wolves yesterday.
The 26-year-old Spaniard is absolutely adored by the Hammers faithful due to the way in which he is fully committed to the football club every single time he takes to the pitch.

Fornals moved to the London Stadium from Villarreal in the summer of 2019 for around £24 million (BBC).
And over the past two years and eight months, he has established himself as a real cult hero in East London.
The Spain International is incredibly gifted from a technically perspective but what makes hm so special is the way in which he doesn’t stop running and always makes himself available to play any role that David Moyes asks of him.
He proved that yesterday during West Ham’s 1-0 win over Wolves by filling in at left wing-back when we didn’t have the ball. He really is a very unique player especially in this day and age where the game is full of overpaid, overhyped prima donnas.
West Ham 1-0 Wolves: Fornals stood out
The 26-year-old was expected to be one of our chief creative forces against Wolves but at the same time he had the responsibility of tracking back and playing as a left wing-back when we didn’t have the ball.
He never once shirked that responsibility and ended the game with Ki-Jana Hoever and Trincao in his pocket.
Fornals racked up some really impressive numbers during the game that ended West Ham 1-0 Wolves.
The former Villarreal ace had 75 touches, made two key passes, three dribbles, five tackles and one interception. He made 55 passes and recorded a completion rate of 79% (Who Scored).
Those numbers highlight just how much of an impact Fornals had at both ends of the pitch.
The mercurial Spaniard is an unbelievably important player to West Ham United. David Moyes is well aware of that and so are his teammates and the fans.
If the Hammers are to have any chance of finishing inside the top six again this season we will need Pablo Fornals to maintain the levels that he displayed yesterday against Wolves.
The performance that he put in yesterday typified everything that the 26-year-old is all about. Fornals is already a cult hero at West Ham. And if he remains in East London for at least another five years or so, he will end up as a true club legend.
