# West Ham fans pile yet more praise on Angelo Ogbonna

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/29/west-ham-arkadiusz-milik-transfer-advantage-spurs/) fans have taken to Twitter to praise[Angelo Ogbonna](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/14/angelo-ogbonna-praises-said-benrahma-creativity/)’s latest eye-catching display as the Hammers played out a [goalless draw with Southampton](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12174620/southampton-0-0-west-ham-saints-and-hammers-in-st-marys-stalemate).

The Italian centre-back was in[inspired form once again](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/november/25-november/angelo-ogbonna-becomes-third-consecutive-hammer-fifa-team), this time alongside Craig Dawson, as David Moyes’s men secured their[third draw in four games](https://www.whufc.com/fixtures/first-team/fixtures-and-results) at St Mary’s.

Many of the Irons faithful may have feared for the 32-year-old coming up against the [returning Danny Ings](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/29/danny-ings-training-images-potential-return-saints-hammers/) – however, they needn’t have feared as the experienced Italy international was in control throughout.

Ogbonna was given a match rating of[7.2 by Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/angelo-ogbonna/21164) on a night whereby he [made seven clearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1485464/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2020-2021-Southampton-West-Ham) – more than anybody else on the pitch for either side.

Despite his advancing years Ogbonna is [experiencing a new lease of life](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/mins_played) at the London Stadium and has been arguably the ‘Hammer of the year’ so far.

Here is how some of the fans reacted to the central defender’s display…
