West Ham player ratings vs Leeds: Declan Rice caps poignant day in style as Lucas Paqueta impresses again
Paqueta #Paqueta
Goals from Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini saw West Ham come from behind to beat Leeds 3-1 in their final home game of the season.
Here’s how David Moyes’s side rated at the London Stadium…
Lukasz Fabianski 6
Made a good early stop from Harrison and had those in front of him to blame for Leeds goal.
Vladimir Coufal 6
Back after a spell out with a hamstring injury. Will be desperate to win back his place ahead of European final in his hometown.
Kurt Zouma 5
Got away with uncharacteristic error to gift Rodrigo opening on stroke of half-time, then replaced during it.
Angelo Ogbonna 5
Had to get close to Rodrigo for Leeds goal.
Emerson 6
A touch too many every now and again but a good attacking outlet down the left, worked nicely in tandem with Fornals. Goal-saving block from Summerville late on.
Tomas Soucek 7
Almost put his side ahead with header into the ground that was tipped over.
Declan Rice 8
Six years on from his debut, made what is likely to be his final West Ham home appearance and capped it with a superbly taken goal. Made awkward finish look simple.
Lucas Paqueta 8
Another excellent showing, full of skill and trickery. Superb pass deserved better from Ings. Sensational run got better from Lanzini. Booked.
Jarrod Bowen 8
Hooked cross to the back-post made Rice’s leveller. Then took his goal superbly.
Danny Ings 7
His most involved performance in some time and unlucky not to score when strike hit Bowen. Laid on the winger’s goal with a clever pass. Hesitated when played in by Paqueta late on.
Pablo Fornals 8
Followed up his late winner in midweek with an excellent display. Cute pass to open Leeds up in build-up to goal was glorious.
Substitutes
Thilo Kehrer (Zouma 46’) 6
Replaced Zouma at the break and enjoyed a comfortable 45 minutes.
Manuel Lanzini (Bowen 84’) 7
On for what will likely prove a farewell appearance at the London Stadium, with his contract up at the end of the season. Capped it with a fairytale goal.
Ben Johnson (Fornals 90’) N/A
Divin Mubama (Ings 90’)N/A
Unused: Areola, Cresswell, Cornet, Benrahma, Antonio
