Player Ratings: West Ham 1-4 Wigan

Mauro Boselli was amongst the top performers as the Hammers were swept aside at Upton Park despite taking the lead & fielding a fairly strong line-up in the League Cup clash

    Stephen Henderson Flop of the Match

    Hit and miss from the West Ham goalkeeper. Could have saved at least one of Boselli's efforts but positioned himself admirably in other instances. Conceded the penalty late on which Wigan scored from.

    Jordan Spence

    An unimpressive performance from Sam Allardyce's second-teamer. He - and many of his team-mate's tonight - will want to put this defeat and performance behind them.

    Daniel Potts

    Looked unable to handle too many of the Wigan attacks and will need to work hard to succeed at the top level based on this performance.

  • George McCartney

    George McCartney

    One of the more notable performances in the West Ham back line, by virtue of quality tackles and occasional interceptions.

  • James Tomkins

    James Tomkins

    A poor performance from the Hammers centre-back, who will be disappointed to have been part of a back four which conceded so many goals at home to Wigan.

    Gary O'Neil

    Went off injured just before the penalty after an uninspired performance in front of home fans at Upton Park.

  • Matthew Jarvis

    Matthew Jarvis

    The former Wolves winger continues to struggle to justify his hefty transfer fee, though his pace did cause one or two problems, albeit not often enough for a home cup performance.

  • Mark Noble

    Mark Noble

    Active in the middle of the park all match, the Hammers midfielder excelled at creating chances and keeping the tempo up but suffered at finishing his efforts or crafting goalscoring chances. Brought off with just under 20 minutes on the clock remaining.

    Modibo Maiga

    A solid attacking performance from the striker, who scored the opening goal of the evening which gave the Hammers a brief lead at the start of the match.

  • Robert Hall

    Robert Hall

    An anonymous display from the striker in the third round, as the Hammers fired blanks throughout. Barely noticeable in attack, his performance will not have helped his push for first-team football

Substitutions

    Matthew Taylor

    Hardly made an impact in his 20 minutes on the pitch, after coming on for Mark Noble.

  • Ali Al Habsi

    Ali Al Habsi

    Average between the sticks, but then again he was not called upon too often as West Ham were restricted to mainly wayward shots and frustrated attacking moves.

  • Iván Ramis

    3.50

    Iván Ramis

    Scored a scorcher from outside the area to put Wigan ahead as half-time approached, which was crucial in giving the visitors momentum.

    Ronnie Stam

    The defender was good in his passing, tackling and marking throughout. More of this away from home will help their doubtless relegation-fight in the league.

  • Adrián López

    Adrián López

    Only a few tackles and average positional play downgraded Lopez's rating, who did not play too bad in east London on Tuesday night.

    Maynor Figueroa

    The full-back remains a contrasting figure - occasionally brilliant, occasionally appallingly clumsy - but his better side shone tonight as he bagged an assist for the first Wigan goal and helped keep the Hammers at bay at the other end of the pitch.

  • Gary Caldwell

    Gary Caldwell

    Another example of a player who deserves credit for keeping the Latics ahead in a second half that could have easily slipped through their fingertips.

  • David Jones

    David Jones

    The sort of player who rarely gets praise but can often deserve it, the former Wolves holding midfielder made sure the Hammers struggleed to get the ball past the Wigan back four enough.

  • James  McArthur

    James McArthur

    His key contribution was winning the penalty at the end of the match, but he was instrumental in seeing the Latics be able to stand their ground in the centre of the park throughout.

  • Callum McManaman

    Callum McManaman

    Less eye-catching on Tuesday evening than some of his team-mates, the Wigan midfielder still put in a decent shift at Upton Park en route to their victory.

    Mauro Boselli Top of the Match

    Two goals from the Argentine ensured their progression into the fourth round of the League Cup. A typical, impressive poacher's performance.

    Ryo Miyaichi

    A threat on occasion at Upton Park, the on-loan midfielder showed why Arsenal value him so highly with bursts of energy and creativity.

    Jordi Gómez

    The substitute came on late in the second half but was able to put the cherry on the victory cake by scoring from the spot to give the Latics their 4-1 win.

    Fraser Fyvie

    Did not play long enough to earn a rating after coming on in the last six minutes for McArthur
