5. Dan Burn - 7
Could have possibly done better for the opening goal but generally solid otherwise. Photo: George Wood
6. Matt Targett - 8
Was effective at both ends with some good link up play and deliveries from the left as well as several good tackles and blocks. A proper full-back display. Photo: Stu Forster
7. Jonjo Shelvey - 7
An effective midfield display. Spread the ball around well and broke West Ham's play up. Photo: OLI SCARFF
8. Joe Willock - 8
Came close to opening his account for the season early on and finally did on the stroke of half-time with a tidy finish. Looked sharp and brought the ball forward well. Photo: Stu Forster
