The midfielder created a couple of problems, and some fans felt that he should have won a penalty when he collided with Harry Winks right on the edge of the box.
He certainly did enough to convince the West Ham fans that Pellegrini made the right call bringing him on ahead of Michail Antonio – who replaced Mark Noble with less than 20 minutes remaining.
And, in the unfortunate event that Yarmolenko is sidelined for a lengthy spell, many of the supporters are hopeful that it will be Diangana who is given a run in the starting lineup after a very bright start to his Hammers first-team career.
