Alphonse Areola Witnessed an early attempt fly past him and back off a post but he was solid and made a couple of decent stops early on. 7
Vladimir Coufal Remarkable absence of rustiness considering the length of his absence. Defended well for the most part. 7
Craig Dawson Scored the opener with a near post header, maximising the team's greatest strength, and defended with his usual intensity. 8
Issa Diop There had been doubts over whether he could fill the gap left by Kurt Zouma but the Frenchman was towering when Lyon pushed for an opener, wing a bunch of headers and making one memorable tackle to floor Moussa Dembele. 8
Ben Johnson On his weaker side, the England Under-21 provided a fine cross in the lead up to Rice making it 2-0 and he defending with confidence after a tricky start. 7
Tomas Soucek Cleaned up everything, carried out dirty work with minimal fuss. 7
Declan Rice Aided by a deflection but the captain's strike from just outside the area to make it 2-0 on the night effectively killed Lyon. Typically efficient in position and did very little wrong defensively. 8
Jarrod Bowen Outstanding. Scored the third with a clinical breakaway, making it three in four games since returning from injury and 15 for the season. 8
Pablo Fornals Had an attempt inside 15 seconds as West Ham were allowed to break but dragged a low attempt wide. At that juncture it felt like a big chance had gone amiss in what everyone expected would be a tight game. But he continued to probe and was unlucky not to make it 4-0. 8
Manuel Lanzini Trickery and ability to change speed earned West Ham a foothold in the first half after a difficult enough opening half an hour. 7
Michail Antonio He may not have scored but there was plenty of good link up play from the Jamaica international, proving his worth at a time where confidence may be lacking. 7
