West Ham United Under-18s kept up their fine FA Premier Academy League form with a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Little Heath on Saturday.
Robert Hall, Danny Purdy and Danny Subuola were all on target as the Hammers warmed up for Tuesday's FA Youth Cup fourth-round visit of Queens Park Rangers with an impressive win.
Hall opened the scoring after half-an-hour, creating a yard of space inside the penalty area before lashing a low, left-foot shot into the bottom corner of the net.
Eoin Wearen sliced the ball into his own net to get Fulham back on level terms shortly after half-time before West Ham scored twice late on to collect the three points.
Purdy slotted home from the penalty spot after Nicky Barrett had been sandwiched by two visiting defenders before Subuola saw his shot deflect off a Cottagers defender before flying past the helpless goalkeeper in the final minute.
Carr's youngsters have now lost just two of their last ten league matches and will go into Tuesday's tie at the Boleyn Ground (7pm kick-off) full of confidence.
West Ham's U16s also enjoyed a successful Saturday, overcoming their Fulham counterparts 4-3.
West Ham United U18: Loveday, Modelski, Craig, Sanchez (McNaughton 60), Brown, Barrett, Moncur, Wearen, Purdy, Hall (Subuola 75), Abdulla (Turgott 65)
