Fellaini firing at will; West Ham duo clearing the lines
Marouane Fellaini registered a high in shots on target, while West Ham’s back line are doing their job perfectly.
Brazilian star Firmino netted a brilliant double against Swansea on Saturday – though his brace was unable to prevent a costly home defeat to Swansea. You can read our Player Ratings from the game here.
