Football journalist Philippe Auclair was pretty impressed with his display!
No surprise West Ham's (likely) winner should have had Gokhan Tore at the heart of it. Excellent throughout.

Tore is still not 100 percent match fit after only returning from a knee injury last week but he has started to show glimpses of why he is Slaven Bilic’s golden boy.

What a player that Gokhan Tore is!

Tore was not given much attention in the post-match show on Sky Sports… in fact his name was not even mentioned.

Sure did!
We've got a player in Gokhan Tore I feel. Was as good as Antonio today, sure @Turkish_Futbol loved it!

And in case you are wondering his name translates to, The Code of the Skylord

It was not all praise. Tore seems to have a hardcore group of critics for some reason.
How is there actual football fans that think Gokhan Tore had a good game?
Absolute dump of a performance barring an assist

Bit harsh!
I honestly reckon Gokhan Tore would struggle to get a game for a Turkish outfit over Hackney Marshes on a Sunday afternoon! Useless! #WHUFC

Pretty much sums things up here.
