October 7, 2022 Gianluca Scamacca Nets Winner For West Ham In Conference League Tie Against Anderlecht

Substitute Gianluca Scamacca slotted home the winner against Belgian side Anderlecht as West Ham recorded a third straight victory in the Europa Conference League.

Scamacca guided it into the bottom corner with a first-time strike on the turn, late in the second half.

West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola was forced to make an excellent save to deny Anderlecht striker Fabio Silva's header shortly afterwards.

There were nine changes from the side that defeated Wolves in the Premier League in their last outing, with Michail Antonio and Said Benrahma among those given an opportunity.

Benrahma had the best chances in the first half when he had a shot blocked, before he was teed up by Jarrod Bowen, only to slice it over the bar from close range with the goal gaping and the scoreline remaining even.

Antonio and Bowen also came close, while on-loan Wolves striker Silva had an effort blocked in the box by his own team-mate Francis Amuzu for Anderlecht.

Moyes made changes with around 20 minutes remaining as West Ham searched for the winner - captain Declan Rice, midfielder Lucas Paqueta and striker Scamacca all came on.

The substitutions paid off as all three were involved in the goal as Paqueta set-up Scamacca to finish a silky team move.

The Hammers sit top of Group B with Anderlecht five points behind.
