E-i-adio, we've won the (Betway) Cup!
West Ham have won their first trophy of the season, the most prestigious piece of silverware in world football, the Betway Cup. We beat Mainz 7-6 on penalties. Issa Diop scored the last penalty with Mainz then firing over, while Tony Martinez scored our goal from a Snodgrass (remember him?) cross in the 1-1 draw. While Adrian both scored and saved a penalty in the shoot-out, before lifting the trophy. I remember seeing us lose the Betway Cup to Juventus two seasons ago and my daughter remarking that West Ham can't even win their own cup. Well, we can now. Wonder if 2018 will now go up alongside 1964, 1965, 1975 and 1980 on the Betway Stand?

Think the intro here is that Adrian both scored and saved a penalty on the shootout, as he did v Everton, Not quite the Intertoto though is it?
We'll never match the Intertoto! Adrian lifted the trophy too. It's coming home...
I'll add in Adrian scoring from the spot…
