West Ham United beat Bolton Wanderers 3-2 in the Championship on Tuesday.

Konstantinos Mavropanos stood out for the Hammers in their win at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on 8 September.

The Greek centre-back once again started alongside Max Kilman in the backline.

Mavropanos was solid defensively, even if West Ham did concede twice, and also contributed up front for West Ham.

Nuno Espirito Santo is lucky to still have the 28-year-old defender at his disposal.

The Greece international was one of the few who deserve plaudits for their performances in BL6.

Konstantinos Mavropanos and two others shine vs Bolton Wanderers

West Ham managed to keep both Mavropanos and Jarrod Bowen after relegation from the Premier League, and they can lead them back into the top flight.

Apart from the defender being colossal, the English forward was also influential for the Hammers against Bolton.

Bowen scored the opener for the Irons and was a constant threat to the opposition defence at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, eventually scoring the winner.

Bowen could've grabbed a hat-trick in the end had it not been for Josh Sheehan.

Arne Engels was another player who stood out, getting the assist for Mavropanos' goal in the first half.

Who Nuno Espirito Santo needs to drop at West Ham United

It was clear who the weak link in the West Ham starting lineup was in Greater Manchester.

Kyle Walker-Peters had a tough time against Kyliane Dong on the right and brought him down to give away a penalty.

Most of Bolton's significant attacks came down the 29-year-old right-back's side before he was substituted at around the hour mark.
