Said Benrahma stepped into Jesse Lingard’s boots on Sunday afternoon according to BBC pundit Danny Murphy. Lingard’s departure from West Ham has left a creative hole in the Hammers midfield and Benrahma stepped up with a goal and an assist during the 4-2 win.
David Moyes said: “That’s him [just] getting started, and with an assist as well. I think you can see a slight change in his play and his development, it can’t always be the Said Benrahma show it has to be for the team, that is what we’re interested in. At moments we need his individual ability to beat people, score us goals and make assists and he did that today.”
