Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with Heineken...
West Ham United opened their tour of Australia with a thrilling 6-2 victory over A-League side Perth Glory at Optus Stadium on this day a year ago.
The goals flowed for the near 25,000 in attendance Down Under, as David Moyes’ men made it two wins from two pre-season games as preparations for the new campaign got underway.
An own goal by Glory defender Darryl Lachman got the scoring started, before a Gianluca Scamacca penalty, Jarrod Bowen’s double, Emerson’s header and Divin Mubama’s finish added to the Hammers’ tally.
Glory netted twice themselves – through an own goal from the unfortunate Luizão and Daniel Bennie – but West Ham did more than enough to claim the spoils on their first foray onto Australian soil in 28 years.
