The 5-3-2 formation worked, captain Jarrod Bowen led by example, Mohammed Kudus was everywhere. Potter is having an effect

That has been the most impressive thing about Potter's early reign at West Ham. An injury crisis and a striker shortage has not prevented him from making progress. He has got the team playing well, is giving young players like Ollie Scarles the chance to shine and has an entire squad bought into to his plans.

Graham Potter had to urge himself not to get too carried away by the performance of “amazing” Ollie Scarles, who impressed on his first Premier League start in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Arsenal. Jarrod Bowen scored the winner at Emirates Stadium to give Potter his second win from seven matches as Hammers boss.
