Had to give MOTM to Matip for coming back into the team and straight into such a solid performance with the icing on the cake being the winner in what was a hard away game and an important 3 points.
With that said, my close second is Gakpo. He was everywhere at the same time. Every time I'd look he was somewhere else. The middle, left side, right side, deep in midfield, pressing, receiving and creating from deep, from the edge of the box, etc., and he did it all very well. That goal was a beauty. I love how this kid strikes the football. When his foot connects with the ball the way he intends it to its always a beautiful finish and I think today was another one. He's slowly but surely fitting very well into that Firmino role.
As for the team, good game all around. Offensively, but also defensively with the West Ham goal being a beauty that I think we can all agree wasn't necessarily down to us being as poor defensively as have been most of this season, but mostly down to some very tidy stuff from Paqueta.
