West Ham were taken to the limit but managed to beat QPR to make it to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Nuno Espirito Santo went into this match under tremendous pressure, and will be delighted that his side managed to win by a 2-1 scoreline.
Crysencio Summerville and Taty Castellanos scored for West Ham, while Richard Kone found the back of the net for the visitors.
Sum up this man’s performance against QPR in three words 👇
Crysencio Summerville puts in Man of the Match display
Summerville has rightly been criticised for his lack of output in the final third for the Hammers.
However, against QPR, the Dutch attacker showed glimpses of the player that West Ham thought they had signed back in 2024.
The 24-year-old showed composure in the final third late in the first half and got a goal for his efforts, giving his side a crucial 1-0 lead at half-time.
He also provided the assist for Castellanos‘ winner and looked sharp for the entire 120 minutes.
Many may argue that this was his best and most complete performance since his move to the London Stadium.
Who was West Ham’s MOTM against QPR and why?! 👀
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has an off day for West Ham
Wan-Bissaka played as the right wing-back and had an off day for the Hammers.
The DR Congo international played the full 90 minutes on Sunday and had a forgettable game.
According to Sofascore, he lost possession on 19 occasions and could complete just one of his four attempted dribbles.
For someone providing width and looking to be dangerous, this is not something to write home about.
Known for his prolific defending, Wan-Bissaka lost six out of seven ground duels and his only attempted aerial duel.
It seems like the 28-year-old is not yet at 100 per cent post the AFCON and could do with a game’s rest before he’s ready to start regularly.
