Arne Engels appears to have finally found his stride at West Ham after another impressive performance for the Championship leaders.
The Belgian midfielder endured a difficult start to life in London following his £22m move from Celtic, with some West Ham supporters questioning whether he would live up to his hefty price tag.
But the tide appears to have turned over the past few weeks.
Engels has now put together three impressive performances in a row, with his latest display capped by a superb assist from a set-piece.
The midfielder had already provided an assist against Wolves last week before producing a Man of the Match performance against Derby at the weekend.
Against Derby, Engels created more chances than any other player on the pitch and continued to show why West Ham invested heavily in him.
He carried that form into their game last night. West Ham were trailing 2-1 when Engels stepped up to deliver a brilliant ball into the box from a set piece.
It was another moment of quality from the former Celtic star, who also controlled proceedings from midfield as West Ham looked to get back into the game.
What a game we have on our hands!
