Marko Arnautovic wowed in the first-half against Burnley as he was the one to grab the all important goal to put West Ham 1-0 up but it’s his teammate fans should be drooling over.
While the Hammers weren’t able to hold to their lead as Burnley equalised to make it 1-1 ahead of the half-time whistle, there was still lots of positives for Manuel Pellegrini.
One of them was Arnautovic who took his opportunity to score with ease and oozed his usual class, but that level of performance is expected of him.
Arnautovic will surely get the headlines at half-time as he is the one who scored the goal, but his ability to standout will wrongly overshadow the performance of Diangana.
The 20-year-old fabulous kept showing glimpse of his potential as not only was he willing to run at Burnley in order to unsettled them, his crosses were accurate and caused the Clarets to take note.
Given that Diangana is relatively in-experienced in the Premier League, it made his performance even better.
While it wasn’t perfect, there were a few wrong decisions, he didn’t look out of his depth and look capable of punishing Sean Dyche’s side, which isn’t the easiest of tasks.
The 20-year-old continues to look like he’s getting better with each passing game, and even during the game as he grew into the clash with Burnley, and this should have fans salivating.
If Diangana is already able to deliver these sort of exciting displays then the world is his oyster.
Hopefully the 20-year-old, who is full of energy, is able to keep shining bright in the second-half and get the goal or assist he clearly deserves to ensure the Hammers take all three points by the time the full whistle blows against Burnley.
