# Football fans laud ‘unreal’ Manuel Lanzini during West Ham victory

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/01/01/mark-lawrenson-predicts-close-epl-clash-for-west-ham/) attacking midfielder [Manuel Lanzini](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/27/west-ham-midfielder-manuel-lanzini-convinced-river-plate-return-will-happen/) delivered yet another sublime goal as the Hammers edged past Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park.

David Moyes’ side were at one stage in cruise control when the 28-year-old [doubled the lead](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2022/january/01-january/goals-crystal-palace-2-3-west-ham-united) before a late penalty in the first half made it a three-goal cushion at the break.

However, a [late comeback](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59787809) made for a nervy ending for Moyes’ men as the Irons just about held on to all three points.

Unsurprisingly it was Lanzini’s magical strike that took the [social media](https://twitter.com/Jack_Norris1912/status/1477431239091048453) headlines from a whole range of supporters after the Argentinian danced around Palace defenders on the edge of the penalty area before unleashing a pinpoint volley.

So far this season Lanzini has [scored five times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manuel-lanzini/leistungsdaten/spieler/135853) in 23 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Stunning.

During an [injury-induced stop-start career](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manuel-lanzini/verletzungen/spieler/135853) in East London, the former River Plate ace has certainly come up with his fair share of magic moments.

This was a technical masterpiece filled with poise, panache and all the grace you’d expect from the talented [£9million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manuel-lanzini/marktwertverlauf/spieler/135853) man.

With Said Benrahma now [heading off to AFCON](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/every-premier-league-player-afcon-25795971), Moyes will be delighted another of his creative star’s is producing such moments.
