Silkeborg 2 West Ham 3 (Europa Conference League)
Was in the Lake District for this one, but keeping up via BBC text reports. It was the worst possible start after five minutes when Kusk caught Areola and the defence out with a nifty shot from distance. The Hammers were back in it eight minutes later when Lanzini converted his penalty after Cornet was fouled in the box.
As Silkeborg tried to play it out of defence Cornet set up Scamacca for a thumping shot into the top of the net tp put the Irons ahead. When Craig Dawson's header from a corner made it 3-1 at the break the game seemed secure. A good moment for the returning Ballon D'Orson.
But Tengstedt set up a nervy finish after Bowen lost possession and Areola parried Adamsen's shot out to him. Indeed it took a great reflex save from Areola to keep it 3-2 as the Danes threatened a late equaliser. But at the whistle it was a fourth successive victory in the Conference on a tricky night and a welcome return to sporting action
