As West Ham United eased past Genk 3-0 at the London Stadium last night, many Hammers fans marked out winger Andriy Yarmolenko for criticism after his display.
David Moyes’ side have now taken full control of Group H in one giant step towards finishing top.

As per the new Europa League format, only first place will guarantee West Ham an automatic Last 16 spot with all second-placed sides having to go through a play-off format.
Alas, the Irons’ thumping victory on Thursday evening puts one foot into the next round and there were many standout performers.

Goals from Craig Dawson, Issa Diop and Jarrod Bowen gifted West Ham all three points as they go six points clear – but one man supporters weren’t impressed with was Yarmolenko.
Indeed, he finished the 90 minutes among West Ham’s lowest-rated players on SofaScore and didn’t manage a single shot on target.
As well as this, the Ukraine international lost the vast majority of his ground duels against Genk and it’s safe to say Irons fans weren’t particularly pleased with their club’s second-highest earner.
