Job done at Viborg

Viborg FF 0 West Ham 3 (Europa Conference)

Declined to get yet another subscription for a TV channel with Premier Sports so kept in touch with  this on the feed from the club website. Just as well, as the white and orange away kit would have had me adjusting the contrast controls on the TV. 

It was certainly a great instinctive finish from Scamacca for the first goal when he flicked in Soucek's cross. The Irons were indebted to Areola for a fine double save but the game was made secure with Benrahma's crisp finish into the corner after a fine through ball from Cornet. 

Proving that we do know where the onion sack is, Soucek bagged the third with a good poacher's goal after Lund parried a header. Tomas needed a goal more than anyone and accompanied with an assist it just might help him see an upturn in form. Soucek has at least been getting in scoring positions this season and was unlucky not to net against both Forest and Brighton. There was still time for Cornet to fire over an empty goal after good work by Scamacca and Benrahma.

Credit to the noisy Viborg fans, but in the end it was a satisfying night's work. Scamacca and Cornet benefitted from starting and it was good to see Oggy get another game and also for Oko-Flex to make his WHU debut. So 6-1 on aggregate, if only we could play Viborg every week…
