Sonny Perkins (For Vlasic 77’): N/A - He had one big chance with a free header, but the shot was tipped over by the goalkeeper. EPA
Ryan Fredericks (For Masuaku 77’): N/A - The full-back came on as fresh legs for the visitor’s, who were looking to see out the game late on.
RAPID VIENNA RATINGS: Paul Gartler: 7 - The goalkeeper could do little about either goals, but played a big part in making sure it wasn’t more. Denied Bowen from close-range before making himself big to stop Soucek. He also tipped Perkins’ header over the bar late on. EPA
Filip Stojkovic: 5- The 28-year-old struggled to deal with the threat of Masuaku on his side, getting beaten on several occasions. He should have closed Vlasic for the cross that opened the scoring for the Hammers. AFP
Maximilian Hofmann: 4 - The defender was unable to contain Yarmolenko when the forward shifted towards his side. He gave away a penalty with a clumsy foul on the Ukrainian forward. EPA
Emanuel Aiwu: 5 - The 20-year-old won the majority of his duels but occasionally lost who he should be marking, giving Perkins a free header late in the game when he should’ve been tracking him. EPA
Martin Moormann: 6 - The full-back created chances on the few times he could drive forward on the ball. He pulled the ball back for Fountas but the ball sailed over. Defensively he was kept busy and lost track of Yarmolenko for the opener. Getty
Dejan Petrovic: 5 - The Slovenian struggled at times, letting Lanzini find space between the midfield and defensive lines. On one occasion, the West Ham playmaker was free to pick out a pass that Petrovic should have covered. AP
Robert Ljubicic: 6 - The midfielder frustrated West Ham for the majority of the first-half but had less impact in the second. His tenacity was shown when he fought to win the ball off of Fornals, who was bearing down on goal. Getty
Kelvin Arase: 7 - The 22-year-old was a handful for the visitor’s when driving on the ball. On one occasion he picked it up in midfield and ran towards goal, but the shot at the end of it was a tame one. AP
Christoph Knasmullner: 5 - The Austrian playmaker struggled to have an impact on the game. He picked up the ball on the edge of the box once, but the shot was poor and easily blocked. Getty
Taxiarchis Fountas: 7 - The forward looked a threat for West Ham, with the majority of the home side’s chances coming through him. One chance inside the box narrowly missed the target in the first-half. Reuters
Koya Kitagawa: 4 - The 25-year-old had a poor outing before he was substituted. He did very little and it was encapsulated when he misplaced a simple pass in midfield. EPA
SUBS: Marco Grull (For Knasmullner 59’): 5 - The attacking midfielder had little to do for his side, playing safe passes but not creating chances when on the ball. Getty
Ercan Kara (For Kitagawa 59’): 6 - The striker looked to cause problems when going forward, taking two shots with one inside the box narrowly missing the target. AFP
Thierno Ballo (For Arase 75’): N/R - He took two shots while on the pitch, but both were from range and would’ve been fortunate to score from. Getty
Srdjan Grahovac (For Ljubicic 90’): N/A. Oliver Strunz (For Fountas 90’): N/A
WEST HAM RATINGS: Alphonse Areola: 6 - The loanee had little to do in the game, called into action with basic saves. He made one low stop to deny Arase from just inside the box. EPA
Arthur Masuaku: 7 - The left-back showed the most attacking intent down the flank and the Rapid defenders couldn’t handle him. He put in a teasing cross, beating the whole defence, but Bowen dragged the effort wide. EPA
Issa Diop: 6 - The 24-year-old was solid when called upon most of the time, but made one rash challenge at the edge of the box which gave the home side a chance when he shouldn’t have dived in. EPA
Craig Dawson: 6 - The defender and Diop were key to the attacks starting from the back with their passing. He made a big block to deny Rapid a chance through on goal in the second-half. Getty
Vladimir Coufal: 6 - The right-back was direct in his running in attack, causing Moormann problems. He beat the opposition full-back numerous times. EPA
Manuel Lanzini: 7 - The Argentina international showed some neat touches to keep his side on the front foot. In one passage, he received the ball between the lines and made a great touch and turn to feed through Vlasic. AP
Tomas Soucek: 6 - The majority of the play went through the midfielder for West Ham. However, he missed a big chance when he was fed through on goal, but saw his shot stopped by the goalkeeper. AP
Mark Noble: 7 - The Hammers captain often dropped between the centre-backs, allowing the full-backs to push on. He scored a well-placed penalty in the first-half, beating the goalkeeper with ease. Getty
Nikola Vlasic: 6 - The 24-year-old had few chances in the game, but turned provider as he put in a great cross for Yarmolenko to head home. AP
Andriy Yarmolenko: 8 - Scored the opening goal with a looping header, then won a penalty when he was clipped by Hofmann following a clever turn. EPA
Jarrod Bowen: 5 - The versatile forward was caught offside on many occasions. One chance went begging as he dragged it wide from Masuaku’s cross. EPA
SUBS: Pablo Fornals (For Lanzini 65’): 6 - The Spaniard came on but had little to do going forward. He made some basic passes but didn’t create a chance for his side late on. EPA
Said Benrahma (For Bowen 65’): 6 - The winger had a few opportunities in the short time he was on the pitch, skipping past a challenge but being denied by the goalkeeper. EPA
Alex Kral (For Soucek 65’): 6 - Heavily involved in the midfield once he joined the fray. He won the ball well, dispossessing Ljubicic to create a counter late into the game. Getty
