West Ham’s “Sensational” Defender Selected for Premier League Team of the Week
West Ham United secured a pivotal 2-0 victory over Burnley, bringing them closer to Premier League safety. This win marks a turning point in their season as they remain in the relegation zone yet are only three points away from Nottingham Forest.
Key Performers Shine
Crysencio Summerville continued to impress by scoring his fifth goal in five matches. Additionally, Taty Castellanos, a January signing, scored his first goal for the club in this match against Burnley.
West Ham’s recent form shows promise, with three wins in their last four fixtures, igniting hope among fans for survival in the Premier League.
Premier League Team of the Week Highlights
Following the match, two West Ham players earned recognition by being named in Troy Deeney’s Premier League Team of the Week. Defenders Axel Disasi and El Hadji Malick Diouf were highlighted for their outstanding performances.
Axel Disasi’s Impact
- Joined West Ham on deadline day from Chelsea.
- Praised for his solid defensive skills and physical presence.
- Deeney noted his ability to defend deeper, which has been crucial for the team.
El Hadji Malick Diouf’s Contribution
- Provided an excellent assist with a wonderful cross for the goal against Burnley.
- Has shown remarkable improvement since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Brings pace, power, and urgency to West Ham’s left flank.
If both Disasi and Diouf can maintain their high level of performance, West Ham United may have a strong chance of securing their place in the Premier League for next season. Their recent results indicate they are finally beginning to find their rhythm under Nuno Espirito Santo.
