West Ham United winger Said Benrahma was hailed by the media for his performance in today’s 4-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
The Lowdown: Big three points
West Ham picked up a vital three points in a 4-0 win against Nottingham Forest, courtesy of a second-half brace from striker Danny Ings, with captain Declan Rice and Michail Antonio adding late goals for good measure.
It was a huge win for the Hammers, especially considering it was against another side in the relegation battle, and David Moyes will be hoping that it can be a real turning point in his side’s season.
The Latest: Media reacts
Ings will get most of the plaudits for his fantastic performance, but the media was also quick to praise Benrahma’s involvement in the game, having been picked to start on the left-wing.
Journalist Chebli Ishaq hailed the Algerian for his ‘decisive’ passing, with another reporter Malik Ouzia lauding him for his ‘brilliance’ in the build-up to the Hammers’ second goal.
The Verdict: Quality performance
The 27-year-old was limited to an appearance off the bench in the defeat against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, but Moyes chose to start him from the off this afternoon, and he did not let his manager down.
Before being withdrawn shortly before full-time, the maestro weighed in with two assists, setting up Ings’ second and Rice’s brilliant third goal, while he also pitched in defensively, winning six duels and making three tackles.
Given the level of Benrahma’s performance this afternoon, he should be a sure-fire starter when the Hammers travel to Manchester United in the FA Cup next weekend.
