West Ham look to have finally found their rhythm under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini, winning their last three matches in the Premier League.
That sequence of results has restored the feel-good factor around the London Stadium heading into the busy festive period, providing the perfect platform for the Hammers to build upon over the course of the coming weeks.
Plenty of the West Ham squad have caught the eye this season but fans have saved praise for former outcast Robert Snodgrass, who spent last season on loan at Aston Villa but has become a vital asset in the early months of Pellegrini’s reign.
After trailing at the interval against Crystal Palace, Snodgrass provided the inspiration minutes after the restart by equalising with a fine effort – which then saw the Hammers mount an impressive comeback to secure a 3-2 win.
Snodgrass took to Twitter after the match to celebrate and was met by a flood of praise from supporters. We have gathered some of their comments below.
