West Ham 3-1 Viborg: Gianluca Scamacca nets his first Hammers goal as they open up a two-goal lead in Europa Conference League play-off... with Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio also scoring against Danes

They combined for a first goal, from their first chance, on their first start, to put West Ham on course for a first win of the season.

David Moyes didn’t spend nearly £50million on Gianluca Scamacca and Maxwel Cornet for the Europa Conference League qualifying against Viborg of Denmark.

But this will do for starters. Particularly after two defeats. Particularly as scars from last season’s run to the Europa League semi-finals remain.
