‘What a performance’ – National media praises West Ham defender | OneFootball

Aaron Wan-Bissaka delivered an excellent performance as West Ham United beat Newcastle United 2-0 victory at Tyneside last night.

The former Manchester United right-back delivered a masterclass display that earned rave reviews from the national media.

The 27-year-old is famed for his superb defending and solid one-v-one skills, but he showed his attacking prowess yesterday as he marauded down the right flank, causing havoc for the Newcastle defence.

The highlight of his performance was his goal, a well-taken strike that sealed the victory.

Standard Sport was particularly impressed with his display, awarding him an 8/10 rating and hailing his performance.

Wan-Bissaka was typically solid in the defensive phase. The former Crystal Palace star won four of his eight duels and was not dribbled past despite coming up against fleet-footed attackers.

He made four clearances, won three tackles and made two interceptions and one block to earn the man-of-the-match award from the British publication.

Wan-Bissaka’s performance proves doubters wrong

This performance is a vindication for Wan-Bissaka, who faced criticism from some West Ham fans who wanted them to sign Noussair Mazraoui.

Wan-Bissaka has proven his worth with impressive displays since signing on the dotted line. He has arguably been the most consistent performer at the East London club.

Apart from being a reliable defender, he also provides good width and showed today that he can contribute to the attack. He is an invaluable asset to the Hammers.

Mazraoui is a top performer and is proving his mettle in England, but West Ham fans will not regret missing out on signing him if Wan-Bissaka keeps performing like this.
