Nick Pope 6

Saves he had to make were routine. Can’t have expected Mee to miss Hart’s clearance for first goal

Matt Lowton 7

Linked well with Brady in the first half when the Irishman went inside. So close to second half goal

James Tarkowski 7

Was winning his battle with Carroll until the striker became frustrated. Almost a shame we didn’t see more of it

Ben Mee 5

Mistakes are rare from Mee but he should have easily cleared Hart’s clearance for the goal, probably with his head

Stephen Ward 6

Tough afternoon against Antonio, going in both directions. Been superb recently, but below par here

Robbie Brady 6

Always looking for the ball and to get involved, excellent attitude even if things didn’t go for him, which they often didn’t

Jack Cork 7

A solid performance, but probably needed a bit more incision when looking to break down 10 men

Steven Defour 8 (Man of the Match)

Narrowly shades JBG for man of the match. Fitness levels compared to last year are incredible, almost leads the pressing game from midfield now. Quality on the ball, although couldn’t provide the ammunition to open West Ham up

Scott Arfield 6

Didn’t do much wrong but no surprise he was taken off at half-time when creativity was called for

Jeff Hendrick 5

Not at his best in the first half, obvious candidate to make way when Dyche went for 4-4-2

Chris Wood 7

Took his goal well. Could have won a penalty which came from one of several clever runs in behind

Subs

Johann Berg Gudmundsson for Arfield (45) 8

Made an impact from the bench. Hit the post with his own shot before setting up Wood’s goal

Sam Vokes for Hendrick (45) 6

Didn’t have the same impact as JBG, but didn’t have the service he needed either

Ashley Barnes for Ward (81)
