West Ham United recorded a third straight win in UEFA Europa Conference League Group B, with Gianluca Scamacca the match-winner at Belgium's RSC Anderlecht.
The only goal of the night came when the Hammers No7 converted his fourth European goal of the season from inside the area with eleven minutes to play – the first goal Anderlecht had conceded in Group B – to continue the Irons' perfect start in continental competition.
Our fifth European victory this term was indebted not just to the Italian but to Alphonse Areola, whose superb late save from a Fábio Silva header ensured the points went the way of those in Claret and Blue.
David Moyes’ outfit are now clear at the top of Group B, with a five-point advantage over second-placed Anderlecht halfway through the group-stage.
