The introduction of Benrahma allowed Fornals to play centrally, but with Benrahma, Fornals and Cornet all competing for minutes on the left, it is becoming a crowded market. With Lanzini on the bench and Antonio missing last time out, Rice was the elected taker, seeing a rather tame effort denied by Dean Henderson. As club captain, Rice will undoubtedly be the best option in terms of character, but technically was Moyes right? Maybe, the Viborg game will give him and others out of form a chance to get back to scoring ways and grow confidence, depending on how strong Moyes goes. and the chants of "Bowen's on fire" from West Ham fans. All of the Hammers’ best chances of scoring did not involve him, with Benrahma, Fornals, Soucek, Rice and Zouma all more likely to get themselves on the scoresheet. His disallowed goal was through no fault of his own, he stayed onside and finished well. The VAR call over Benrahma's disallowed goal was the best way to sum up West Ham’s misfortunes in the tie. The issue was, his decision making did let him down at times.

In the second half, another goal line clearance came late on when Kurt Zouma’s header from an Aaron Cresswell corner forced Neco Williams into an excellent last-ditch clearance.

Declan Rice took West Ham United's penalty in the 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest on Sunday - but is he the new man on duty after Mark Noble retired?

During his iconic two-decade stay in the West Ham first team, Noble was renowned for his record from 12 yards. He then said: "Manuel Lanzini took the penalty kicks and scored them last season. Henderson would've got to it had the centre-back not intervened, and eventually did get to it from Rice's resulting effort.

Moments later, the Irons had a penalty. Souček was in the right place to follow up but, somehow, Henderson kept the midfielder’s header out. Fabiański was forced to make a superb, close-range stop to deny Williams, with the Hammers going straight up the other end through Benrahma’s mazy run.
