Coming up against the Aston Villa captain, who had been hailed the 'best player in the league' in the build-up to the clash by Hammers' manager David Moyes, Coufal was exemplary in all departments, limiting Grealish's impact. The 28-year-old won three tackles and made six clearances, the latter figure the joint-highest of any Irons player on the night (Sofascore).
