West Ham held Arsenal to a 3-3 draw at Upton Park to keep their chances of Champions League football alive.
On-loan Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike came on at half-time for the Hammers with the score tied at 2-2.
We took a look at how his performance went down on Twitter.
It is fair to say Emenike has a few doubters – some more harsh than others.

Emenike even got likened to a being a part-time footballer.
Arsenal are losing to a team that has a player called Emenike. Emenike probably does football part time, his full time job is being a pastor

Emenike was criticised mainly for being perceived to have not had an influential role in the game although West Ham took the lead when he was on the field.
@ExWHUemployee Reid has poor distribution but so does Collins. The back 3 didn't work today. No changes needed just yet. Emenike did nothing

Emenike was even blamed for the Hammers not winning the game.
@whufc_official would have won it if you didn't bring on Emenike…

There were however, some fans rather pleased with his performance and one tweeter claimed he was the game changer in the second half.
I though Emenike was the real game changer #WHUFC

And yet more praise for Emenike. To be fair West Ham did take the lead after his introduction to the game and he did put on a hard working display.
How brilliant was emenike today btw? thought he looked class when he came on.

Even Emmanuel Emenike played well today. Really wanna find out what's going on with Sakho though. All a bit weird.
