Samir Nasri made his debut in Claret and Blue as West Ham progressed to the next round of the FA Cup.
West Ham had a home against Birmingham City and secured a 2-0 win to move to the Fourth Round.
An early Marko Arnautovic goal and a late Andy Carroll goal was enough to see the Hammers through.
Samir Nasri debut
And it was a chance for West Ham fans to catch their first glimpse of Nasri.
The 31-year-old started the game after he was an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw against Brighton.
The former France international, who played under Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City, signed for West Ham on a free transfer at the end of December.
Nasri’s arrival was met with mixed reaction, considering he fits the bill as a creative midfielder but had not played for 18 months.
He has just returned from a doping ban but has been training with West Ham in a bid to get fit.
However, the ex-Arsenal midfielder impressed on his debut, showing some bright moments on the ball.
It was an encouraging start for Nasri and this is what West Ham fans have been saying about his 58-minute cameo.
