WHZ Moment of the Match – Sebastien Haller shares timely reminder v Sheffield United
West Ham United forward Sebastien Haller finally showed us all his best against Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.
The Frenchman has been heavily criticised for his performances since arriving from Frankfurt last year, but he proved himself at Bramall Lane.
With chances for both sides, it took a moment of magic to take three points and Haller’s thunderbolt was exactly that.
His celebration after the goal said it all, it was months of frustration all coming out in one magical moment.
Looking at the goal, Haller didn’t look a man low on confidence.
The 26-year-old got his head over the ball and hit it first time – something that had to be done at this moment, and he did it superbly.

Michail Antonio will be wanting his spot back next week, but it will definitely be a tough call to drop Haller after this outing against the Blades.
David Moyes will be scratching his head all week, and it will be no surprise to see an unchanged side against Aston Villa.
Haller had his most effective game in the Premier League so far this season.
The 26-year-old managed five touches in the opposing penalty area according to WyScout, his most in the league this season – as well as having three shots on goal.
The target-man can often drift through games without making any sort of impact, but instead, he was at the heart of most things positive, and this must continue.
Questions were starting to be asked of Haller, but he well and truly answered them at Bramall Lane, and long may it continue.
