# West Ham United: Fans laud Jesse Lingard after Sheffield United victory

**Many West Ham fans were hugely complimentary towards midfielder Jesse Lingard following their [3-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55975613) win over Sheffield United on Monday night.**

The Hammers moved up to [fifth](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) in the Premier League table after goals from Declan Rice, Issa Diop and Ryan Fredericks toppled the struggling Blades.

Lingard, who [made the switch](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55810784) from Manchester United on loan last month, showed once again exactly what he is capable of with another eye-catching performance, which followed his unforgettable debut at Villa Park when he scored twice.

Per [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/west-ham-united-sheffield-united/pM), Lingard managed to get four shots on target, won seven duels and had 61 touches of the ball – the third-highest in his team.

Unsurprisingly, supporters flocked to the Englishman’s post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JesseLingard/status/1361414187432337409) to congratulate him on his showing, hoping that there is more to come in the next few weeks.
