West Ham put in arguably our best performance of the season this afternoon, and beat Bournemouth 4-0 down on the south coast.

The pressure has been well and truly lifted off the shoulders of Hammers manager David Moyes after that win.
There were plenty of standout performances and in my opinion, Kurt Zouma was one of the very best.
The 28-year-old has been nowhere near his best this season, and I have criticised his physical capabilities on more than one occasion.
However, its only fair to point out just how solid the Frenchman was this afternoon against the Cherries…
Bournemouth 0-4 West Ham: £30 million star was simply sensational
Zouma joined the Hammers from Chelsea in the summer of 2021 for around £30 million (The Daily Mail).
The centre-back initially impressed but as time went on, it seemed like West Ham had signed an absolute dud – and certainly an injury prone one.
Zouma has absolutely no pace anymore, and he always moves around awkwardly, obviously because of his knee problems.
However, he looked back to his old self today down on the south coast. He was dominant in the air, quick along the ground and totally dominated Dominic Solanke and Kieffer Moore throughout the entire 90 minutes.
The former Chelsea man made four interceptions, TEN clearances and two blocks against Bournemouth today (Who Scored).
Kurt Zouma was back to his best and played a vital role in the Bournemouth 0-4 West Ham result this afternoon.
Let’s hope that we see more of that from the 28-year-old between now and the end of the season.
