West Ham United vs Ipswich Town Player Ratings as The Hammers end winless steak

West Ham United ended their winless streak in style as The Hammers trashed the newly-promoted side Ipswich Town with a 4-1 victory. It has been over five weeks since Julen Lopetegui led his players to victory when beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in August.

West Ham’s four players, Michail Antonio, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen, and Lucas Paqueta, scored one goal each. Meanwhile, Ipswich’s only goal was scored by Liam Delap. This result made the London Stadium-based side sit 12th on the table with eight points. Lopetegui has about two weeks to prepare his team before the London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur after the international break.
