West Ham v QPR player ratings
QPR bowed out of the FA Cup with an extra-time defeat at West Ham. Here’s how we rated the Rangers players.
Joe Walsh: 7
Struggled to deal with a couple of corners in the first half, but made two brilliant saves from Crysencio Summerville.
Amadou Mbengue: 6
Understandably found it tough to get to grips with the game’s outstanding player, Summerville.
Jimmy Dunne: 6
Arguably could have done better in the build-up to both West Ham goals, but the captain made some heroic blocks throughout the 120-plus minutes.
Steve Cook: 7
Made a series of outstanding clearances in his own penalty area in what was a strong showing.
Rhys Norrington-Davies: 6
Was given a tough assignment up against Jarrod Bowen but acquitted himself in a typically assured fashion.
Kader Dembele: 7
Lost possession cheaply on a couple of occasions but constantly got himself into dangerous positions and produced an excellent cross for Richard Kone’s equaliser.
Isaac Hayden: 7
Put in a real shift in the middle of the park, making a series of important tackles as Rangers started to tire later in the game.
Nicolas Madsen: 7
Another who put in a real effort, playing the entire match. Made some telling tackles and interceptions.
Koki Saito: 6
A couple of bright moments in attack before being replaced early on because of an injury.
Richard Kone: 7
Had the big moment, scoring off his shoulder from Dembele’s cross. Put himself about but never really threatened other than the goal.
Rayan Kolli: 7
Put in a real shift up front, helping Rangers get up the pitch, and battled well with the West Ham centre-backs. Couldn’t find the target with a free header from a corner in the first half though.
Paul Smyth: 7
Provided great energy down the left after coming into the game early.
Daniel Bennie: 6
Was a willing runner as Rangers tired.
Sam Field: 5
Struggled after coming on at left-back. Twice carried the ball out of play under little pressure.
Kieran Morgan: 6
Tried to make things happen as Rangers chased an equaliser but a couple of purposeful passes didn’t quite come off.
Kealey Adamson: 6
Helped keep things defensively sound as the team searched for a second equaliser.
