Fab and Arnie claim victories

Hammers internationals had a successful UEFA Euro 2020 qualification, with Marko Arnautovic and Lukasz Fabianski playing their part in victories for Austria and Poland.

Arnautovic played the 90 minutes in Austria’s 1-0 win against Slovenia in Klagenfurt with Guido Burgstaller scoring the only goal of the game 16 minutes from time.

The three points came after Arnautovic’s side suffered defeats in their opening two qualifiers in March.

They remain six points behind Group G leaders Poland, for whom Lukasz Fabianski kept a clean sheet in their 1-0 win in North Macedonia.

Fabianski now has 49 caps for his country and could bring up the half-century when they take on Israel on Monday.

Meanwhile, Josh Cullen was an unused substitute for the Republic of Ireland as they claimed a useful 1-1 draw away at Denmark.
