A spirited and rewarding Hammers performance for the first 85 minutes which saw them lead 2-0 courtesey of a goal by Mark Noble in the first half wonderfully set up by Martin Samuelsen, and a super header by ex-Manchester United starlet Ashley Fletcher in the second. Unfortunately two goals were conceded in the last minutes by Rafael Spiegel who had only come on to replace Randolph in the last twenty minutes, it wasn't entirely his fault, especially for the first goal, but it spoilt what had been an impressive display.

The Stadion Rohrbach is the venue for the first of West Ham United's Austrian Tour, Tore is penciled in for an appearance as well as many of the other new arrivals, expect a raft of changes throughout the match which will be played in sweltering conditions. -Ed
West Ham : Randolph, Burke, Byram, Rice, Page, Noble( c ), Feghouli, Cullen, Obiang, Samuelsen, Valencia.
Subs: Adrian, Spiegel, Reid, Creswell, Kayoute, Carroll, Antonio, Nordvelt, Tore, Makasi, Fletcher, Browne, Quina, Martinez.

The list of strikers that West Ham United have been linked with seems to grow daily, and the list of rejections by players targeted is equally as long! Bacca, Batshuayi, Benteke, Lacazette and any number of other high profile players have all refused to sign up to Slaven Billic's vision, which leaves the club in an award position.
