The ailment he is suffering from could still be there, just it was one of the "good" days for discomfort. I would also argue the West Ham setup change helped (if they had their planned back three the spaces wouldn't have been there) and also we were releasing him sooner with backup so he wasn't straying offside as much or having to check runs which lost the pace.
But acrossd the board we also just seemed more direct with less holding the ball up and playing around the back, a tactic I hope we continue going forward now we are in the home stretch and not needed to conserve as much energy.
