# Hammers fans react to audacious Yarmolenko skill for Ukraine

Many West Ham United fans can’t stop drooling over Andriy Yarmolenko’s recent performances for both club and country, but he simply keeps on giving reason too.

The 29-year-old scored as Ukraine beat Portugal 2-1 on Monday to qualify for EURO 2020, but it’s a certain piece of trickery that has plenty raving…

### Read West Ham’s verdict

The audacious piece of skill to send his team-mate in behind the Portugal defence was a clear indicator of Yarmolenko’s current confidence.

And he’s right to be confident too, as many would argue the winger has indeed been West Ham’s most dangerous forward so far this season.

It’s a joy to watch the Ukraine international in his finest form after overcoming such frustrating injury woes in his early Hammers career, and now he can hopefully continue to perform.

EURO 2020 is likely to be Yarmolenko’s final international tournament and if he does maintain his current form at the London Stadium, you’d back him to make a serious impact next summer.
