West Ham U23’s put four more goals past Swansea after the Hammers U18’s put eight past their juniors 24 hours earlier.
Swansea took the lead in the 18th minute through Liam Cullen before Hammer Antony Scully equalised for West Ham shortly afterwards.
West Ham took the lead just minutes into the second half with a fine finish from Nathan Holland, before Holland completed his brace in the 81st minute.
Just two minutes later, Dan Kemp fired home for the Hammers’ fourth of the afternoon, while Liam Cullen netted a consolation goal with a wonder strike late in added time.
West Ham top the Premier League 2 Division table on 28 points after 10 games six points above Manchester United in second place after nine games.
Stoke City remain third place on 17 points after ten games.
The top two teams from Division 2 will be promoted to Premier League 2 Division 1 at the end of the season.
There was no sign of Winston Reid in today’s squad:
West Ham: Anang, Rosa, Baptiste, Cardoso, Longelo, Diallo, Kemp, Coventry, Powell, Holland, Scully Subs: Gaiger, Roach, Ashby, Appiah-Forson, Chesters.
I,ve got an IDEA , Why not play this West Ham under 23,s team as our Main team ,and thus embarass our first team squad into doing better and giving 100%.
What is the worse Scenario, That we lose !, We are already doing that with our SUPERSTARS who are Stealing a Living as is Pellegrinni too. Pellegrinni is scratching his balls and does not give a **** about us.
Any idea what has happened to Ben Johnson – I dont think that he has appeared at all for the U23’s this season – people on teh forum are calling for his inclusion in the first team – but this doesn’t make sense if he is injured
