Fornals, 26, was one of the standout performers for West Ham.

His passing and vision really helped stretch the Wolves back-line but perhaps the most impressive thing about his performance was the fact that he seamlessly slotted into a left wing-back role when the visitors had the ball.

On top of that, his work-rate was unmatched as per usual.

What a player and what a thrill to see a player put on the West Ham shirt and bleed Claret and Blue.

West Ham fans will love Fornals video after win over Wolves

The 26-year-old was absolutely instrumental during our 1-0 win over Bruno Lage’s men yesterday.

He has actually been criticised from some sections of the Hammers fanbase over the past couple of months.

The former Villarreal man showed what he is all about yesterday, however, at both ends of the pitch. David Moyes will be well aware of just how important Fornals was to our victory yesterday afternoon, as will the fans and his teammates.

There aren’t many players who are as technically gifted as Fornals and yet put in such an impressive defensive shift as well.

He’s bagged five goals and three assists in 25 Premier League games for the Hammers this season (Transfermarkt). And in spite of those impressive numbers, he still finds it within himself to help out Aaron Cresswell every single match that he plays.

The below video sums up just how much playing for West Ham means to the mercurial Spaniard:

How good is that to see from Pablo.

Playing for West Ham clearly means absolutely everything to him, you can tell that by the way in which he celebrates when he scores.

The Spaniard is absolutely adored by the Hammers fans.

And yesterday’s video showing Fornals with his new-born baby inside the London Stadium will make the West Ham faithful love him even more.
