Some West Ham fans on social media have been raving about Pablo Fornals after his performance against Crystal Palace.

The Spaniard put in a typically consistent performance, barely putting a foot wrong and keeping David Moyes’ side ticking.

Tomas Soucek will undoubtedly grab the headlines after bagging a brace against the Eagles, but it was Fornals who fans were quick to praise online.

Many made the point that his work is going under the radar and that he’s a bit of an unsung hero, and we can’t help but agree.

West Ham have plenty of players who have received plaudits this season, and for good reason.

The likes of Angelo Ogbonna, Soucek and Declan Rice are all contenders for the Team of the Year so far, but their brilliance has somewhat overshadowed Fornals’ consistent solid performances.

The time has finally come for the midfielder to get the praise he deserves, and fans on social media were very keen to give him credit for this performance.

Here’s what West Ham supporters have been saying on social media…
