West Ham were level in the 42nd minute, debutant Xande Silva found the back of the net with a powerful strike.
One minute into the second half West Ham took the lead, straight from kick-off, West Ham pile forward. Josh Cullen linked with Xande Silva and the forward skips past a tackle. He was all alone in front of the goalkeeper and coolly dispatched his shot.
West ham would move 3 – 1 ahead in the 49th minute as Xande Silva bagged his hattick. Exceptional play from the young forward, who found the net with a powerful strike from a narrow angle.
