Saturday saw the Hammers grab their first win at home this season, comfortably demolishing Ipswich town 4-1.
Going in front early on through a Michail Antonio goal, the Hammers were quick to concede the equaliser as Delap spun past Paqueta before slotting the ball past Areola.
With half time soon approaching, Mohammed Kudus netted his first of the season, heading the ball past Muric after failed effort from Antonio clashed off the crossbar.
Holding the advantage over the Tractor Boys in the second half, Jarrod Bowen found himself up against Kalvin Phillips, who seem to watch in awe as the Hammers skipper curled one in the back of the net, before assisting Lucas Paqueta for West Ham’s fourth and final of the afternoon.
West Ham Ratings:
Alphonse Areola - 7
Conceding early on due to some dreadful keeping, the Frenchman had very little to do after Delap’s shot somehow found its way into the back of the net to bring the game level.
Besides this it was a relatively quiet afternoon for Areola, whom may have only left the stadium bitterly disappointed due to his poor delay in net early on in the first half.
Another player who had a relatively quiet afternoon, Wan-Bissaka found himself up the pitch at times whilst also displaying some classy defending down the other end of the pitch.
Contributing to West Ham's 23 shots throughout the afternoon, the right-back even had a pop on goal just before the whistle went to commence the conclusion of the first half, striking the ball from the edge of the box, as it landed comfortably into Muric’s grasp, preventing the Irons third of the half.
Making only his second Premier League start for the Hammers in defence since joining in the summer, the Frenchman continued to show his class, bossing the back line for 90 minutes and supporting Max Kilman against some top attackers in both Delap and Omari Hutchinson.
Winning 100% of his tackles and making 5 clearances to deny Ipswich, Todibo also enjoyed his time up the pitch at times - making a delightful solo run out of defence.
Max Kilman - 8
Deservedly continuing to start for the Hammers in defence, the ex-Wolves skipper put in yet again another sublime performance in claret and blue.
Partnered alongside Jean-Clair Todibo, the pair are beginning to gel very well and are a huge improvement from Moyes’ previous CentreBack partnership in both Konstantinos Mavropanos and Kurt Zouma.
Emerson - 7
Doing well to dig out the cross for Antonio who hit the crossbar before Mohammed Kudus knocked in the Hammers second, the Italian Full-Back contributed very little besides this but did the job defensively as always for the Irons.
Rodriguez - 6
Covering lots of grass throughout the match, there is not much to say on behalf of the Argentinian who seemed very average in midfield compared to Tomas Soucek.
Tomas Soucek - 8
Scoring West Ham’s only goal in the 1-1 draw against Brentford last week, the Czechia captain seemed to be everywhere this week.
Winning the majority of his Ariel duels and sliding tackles, “super Tomas Soucek” really has stepped up his game since the arrival of new manager Lopetegui - continuing to prove how crucial he is to the Spaniards midfield.
Lucas Paqueta - 7
Also struggling to find his form so far this season, West Ham’s Brazilian magnefico also found some creativity whilst also finding himself on the scoresheet, simply tapping the ball over the line from a superb Jarrod Bowen cross along the box to make it 4-1 - finishing the job for the Irons.
However when it comes to Paqueta, there is always some doubt, as he was at fault for Ipswich’s equaliser - easily losing a physical battle against Delap when in possession, allowing him to quickly turn and score Ipswich’s equaliser.
Jarrod Bowen - 9 - POTM
Back to his best, Bowen put in a “Player of the Match” performance against a struggling Ipswich.
Assisting both Antonio and Paqueta for their goals, the Hammers skipper calmly cut inside on Kalvin Phillips, curling a shot into the bottom corner for West Ham’s third of the afternoon.
Playing with both passion and desire Bowen responded perfectly to being excluded from Lee Carsley’s England squad, whilst silencing all his doubters who said he isn’t capable to both play well whilst wearing the captains armband for West Ham.
Mohammed Kudus - 8
After getting snubbed at halftime by Lopetegui against Brentford last week, the Ghanaian made sure to respond perfectly to this decision, causing former Hammer Ben Johnson lots of problems.
Starting this season off very slowly, the number 14 finally scored his first goal of the season, dispatching a cool header past Muric which originally bounced off the line from an Antonio effort onto the crossbar.
Michail Antonio - 7
One of his best performances in a West Ham shirt as of late, the Jamaican international was a handful for the Ipswich defenders.
Taking his goal very well after hitting the back of the net within the first minute, to then creating the second and then forcing the error for the Hammers third, the number 9 turned back the years and was unlucky to leave the pitch without his second.
Substitutes
Carlos Soler - 6
Played a convincing 20 minutes in midfield - only contribution towards the game was a shot which blazed over the bar.
Edson Alvarez - 6
Replaced Guido Rodriguez for the final 20 minutes - unfortunate not to start the match, however looked solid in midfield
Aaron Cresswell - N/A
Crysencio Summerville - N/A
Luis Guilherme - N/A
