A player who made the wrong impression for the wrong reasons was summer signing Gokhan Tore, who struggled with his set pieces.

Tore looked a shadow of star man Dimitri Payet, who was rested for the fixture. Just one of Tore’s seven deliveries found a teammate, and supporters were quick to liken him to Tottenham and England’s Harry Kane – whose terrible set pieces were the lasting memory from the Three Lions best forgotten Euro 2016.

The conclusion is clear, Dimitri Payet needs to make a quick return for the Hammers to make them more of a force in attack.
