West Ham fans, how good has this week been after that massive 2-0 weekend win? The Hammer smashed Manchester United off the park, and one man who was absolutely key to that win was Andriy Yarmolenko.

Not only did the Ukranian winger bag the first goal of the game on the stroke of half-time, but he also put in a crucial second-half block to deny Jesse Lingard a clear shot on goal and help his side keep a clean sheet.
The chances are that Yamolenko will be utilised again this weekend when the Irons travel to Bournemouth, and if he can keep up his hot streak then Manuel Pellegrini will have a real player on his hands, especially given his link up with Sebastien Haller upfront.

He’s showing what he’s capable of now. Pablo will hopefully do the same soon.

He came alive after he scored and worked hard.
Very much a confidence player.— Dave Rice (@ricey63) September 24, 2019
The Irons quite clearly love Yarmolenko, and will be desperate for just more of the same from the veteran wideman.
