  WEST HAM RATINGS: Lukasz Fabianski, 7 - Barely had anything to do all night long and was quick off his line when called upon, even if his distribution wasn’t always up to scratch. Getty

• 

  Kurt Zouma, 8 - Zouma’s tremendous aerial dominance assisted in killing off plenty of forward moves from the hosts. EPA

• 

  Ryan Fredericks, 7 - It was a really capable full-back showing from Fredericks from his urgency in the final third to his aggression at the back. AP

  Pablo Fornals, 8 - Great feet, great through balls and drives forward with more purpose than anyone on the pitch - what’s not to love? AP

• 

  Manuel Lanzini, 7 - Was assured of himself in midfield and rarely put a foot wrong in what amounted to one of his better displays in recent years. AP

• 

  Nikola Vlasic, 6 -- Always showcases great footwork and creativity but really needs to work on his first touch and final ball. AP

  Michail Antonio, 8 - Alongside his great link-up play we saw Antonio prove why he’s one of the most in-form strikers in the Premier League with an instinctive interception and finish. AP

West Ham enjoyed a great start to their Europa League campaign with a 2-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb in Group H.

Michail Antonio gave Hammers the lead in 22nd-minute after he rounded goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic and eased the ball into an empty net after intercepting a poor back pass by Kevin Theophile-Catherine.

Declan Rice then secured victory with a fine individual effort in the 50th as he raced clear of his marker from the halfway line and drilled the ball home through Livakovic's legs.

"I was really pleased with the way the players played," manager David Moyes said. "Zagreb have a really good history in European football so I knew it was going to be a tough game and the players were made aware of that.

"It's something new for us, certainly to someone like Declan Rice who's played for his country but not in Europe for his club, so it's something he's going to have to get used to as it is for most of the players here."
