Weghorst led the line for the Reds in the 3-1 victory over the Hammers and played a particularly prominent role in our equaliser and Fred’s final strike to seal our triumph deep into stoppage-time.
Our no.27 maintained his record of starting in every game for the Reds since his arrival on loan from Burnley in the January transfer window, and his persistence in pressing from the front was exemplified for our third goal, as he won the ball back in the opposition box to set up Fred to supply the finish.
The Dutchman was also the closest man to Naref Aguerd as he inadvertently nodded past his own goalkeeper for our equalising goal, and the boss highlighted our frontman’s positioning and game intelligence as just some of his key qualities.
