Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, presented by Heineken...

West Ham United became the first side to progress from the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage with a 100 per cent record as a much-changed side comfortably beat FCSB 3-0 on this day last year.

A sixth win from six Group B matches was led by Pablo Fornals, who capped his 150th appearance in Claret and Blue with a brace – striking a goal either side of the break.

In between the Spaniard’s two strikes, the travelling Claret and Blue Army saw Divin Mubama, on his debut, run to celebrate emphatically, having played a crucial role in the Irons’ second of the night – a goal that would be later awarded as a Joyskim Dawa own-goal.

With a three-goal margin – and Ollie Scarles, who become the sixth youngest player to feature for the senior team, Kaelan Casey and Kamarai Swyer also making their debuts - a youthful Hammers’ side concluded Group B with a style and poise beyond their years.
