West Ham United sit fifth in the Premier League table having picked up a 3-0 win over Sheffield United on Monday evening.
Declan Rice converted from the penalty spot to open the scoring, and Issa Diop headed home the second after the break to seal all three points, with Ryan Fredericks adding gloss to the scoreline late on.
That’s now six wins in the last eight for West Ham, who have very real dreams of qualifying for European action next season.
David Moyes is working wonders at the London Stadium, with his recruitment driving the club forward; Jarrod Bowen, Tomas Soucek and Craig Dawson have all excelled.
Now, Jesse Lingard is turning heads in East London, having joined West Ham in a surprise loan move from Manchester United in January.
The 28-year-old hit two goals on his debut against Aston Villa, and absolutely ran the show with a superb display against Sheffield United.
Lingard looks reinvigorated by his move to West Ham, and fans may already be dreaming of a permanent move for him at the end of the season.
Ex-Hammers ace John Hartson took to Twitter to praise Lingard’s display, joking that he hasn’t seen anyone have this impact on a West Ham side for 24 years – basically, since Hartson joined West Ham back in 1997!
Hartson hit 33 goals in 73 games for the Hammers, and if Lingard can match that kind of impact, he will certainly make himself a West Ham hero.
