Ashley Cole hailed James Ward-Prowse as 'special' after the midfielder provided two assists on his debut to help West Ham beat Chelsea 3-1 at the London Stadium.
Ward-Prowse enjoyed a perfect start to his West Ham career after completing a £30million move from his boyhood club Southampton last week.
The midfielder's set piece delivery was key to West Ham's opener, with Nayef Aguerd heading in his corner seven minutes into the contest.
Ward-Prowse also provided the assist for Michail Antonio's goal in the second half, with his clipped pass finding the forward, who fired beyond Robert Sanchez to restore the Hammers' lead.
