West Ham player ratings vs Kidderminster: Rice the difference as Bowen seals late win

Alphonse Areola - Came for the free-kick that lead to Alex Penny's goal but got nowhere near the ball. Looked shaky under the high ball. 4

Ben Johnson (0ff 62) - Gave the ball away in attack on too many occasions. Disappointing afternoon for the youngster who was replaced by Aaron Cresswell. 5

Kurt Zouma - Better on the ball than his fellow defenders but was wasteful at times when looking to go long. 5

Issa Diop (off 45) - The defender was taken off at the break after an awful 45 minutes full of errors. 3

Ryan Fredericks - Pushed forward but was sloppy on the ball often running into trouble and was poor with his final delivery. 5

Mark Noble (off 62) - Looked off the pace and poor in possession when harried by the Kidderminster attackers. Taken off early. 4

Alex Kral (off 45) - Gave the ball away on numerous occasions and looked troubled when put under pressure. Taken off at the break after a disappointing 45 minutes of action. 3

Said Benrahma - Poor on the ball giving away possession on too many occasions but at least found himself in position to receive possession in dangerous areas of the pitch on more occasions than the other Hammers attackers. 4

Nikola Vlasic (off 76) - Rarely saw the ball in dangerous positions as he played on the fringes of the match. Disappointing display from the Croatian. 4

Andriy Yarmolenko - Offered little in either attack or defence. Gave the ball away and rarely tracked back. As with the majority of his teammates an awful afternoon. 3

Jarrod Bowen - Switched between playing as the striker and from the right and was the most persistent of the Hammers attackers. Was West Ham's most dangerous attacker and sealed the win in the 120th minute. 6

Subs -

Craig Dawson (on 45) - Far more solid than Issa Diop and was a threat for West Ham in attacking set-piece situations. 6

Declan Rice (on 45) - Made a huge difference to the team after his introduction looking to drive his team back into the game and practically did it alone. A superb goal form the skipper. 7

Tomas Soucek (on 62) - Was a nuisance in the box after coming on and playing high up the pitch. Off-target with his one real sight of goal. 6

Aaron Cresswell (on 62) - Better delivery than Johnson or Fredericks but made little impact on the game. 5

Pablo Fornals (on 76) - Provided the key pass for Rice's late equaliser. 6
