West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to praise midfielder Marko Arnautovic after his man of the match performance against Chelsea at the weekend.
The Switzerland international, who joined the Hammers’ as the club’s record signing in the summer, scored the only goal in what was a vital three points for David Moyes’ side – the Scot’s first for the club since taking over as manager last month.
A fine finish from Marko Arnautovic. Look how much his first goal for West Ham in the Premier League meant to him. #WHUCHE #WHUFC pic.twitter.com/fapzR2vFfg

Arnautovic’s performance came as a huge bonus to manager and club, after the Swiss star has struggled since his move to the London Stadium from Stoke.
The controversial midfielder had until the weekend failed to make good on his £25 million transfer fee, leading to speculation he could leave the club as soon as January, however more performances that like that he showed at the weekend, and he will soon find himself becoming a fan favourite in East London.
The Claret and Blue army are thrilled Arnautovic is finally doing the business for their club …

So buzzing for Arnautovic. Can see the effort he’s put in last few weeks.

Masuaku brilliant, Antonio and Arnautovic also looking dangerous. Fantastic first half performance for the second week in a row.
