Confirmation that West Ham will finish top of their group and a promising debut from £30million defender Nayef Aguerd. All in all, this was a good night’s work for David Moyes.
West Ham needed to avoid defeat by Danish side Silkeborg to move directly into the Europa Conference League’s round of 16. There was no drama. No twists. Nothing close to what Tottenham experienced 24 hours earlier in their own European tie.
Just a straightforward win in which Manuel Lanzini scored from the penalty spot in the first half and Aguerd featured for 75 minutes, four months after signing from Rennes.
