Remote Stream

West Ham United secured qualification from UEFA Europa Conference League Group B with two games to spare thanks to a 2-1 win over RSC Anderlecht at London Stadium on this day in 2022.

A fourth straight win in Group B was set up by a dominant first-half performance in which the Irons struck twice inside the first 30 minutes.

A delicious Saïd Benrahma free-kick brought the opener, before Jarrod Bowen thrashed in the Hammers’ second from the edge of the area.

While Anderlecht struck a late penalty through Sebastiano Esposito, the Hammers battled to a deserved victory that maintained their perfect record en route to that famous night in Prague.
