If the kids are United

FCSB 0 West Ham 3 (Europa Conference League)

So a perfect six in Europe for the Irons and another great result with a side of squad players and kids. Of the two debutants 16-year-old Ollie Scarles got in some great crosses from the left while 18-year-old striker Divin Mubama was a handful all evening and very nearly scored early on from Scarles' cross. Downes also went close and before Johnson's long ball was expertly finished by Fornals on the half-volley.

Next Aguerd had a header cleared off the line. The Hammers' second goal looked to have been headed home by young Mubama from Coufal's cross, though it took a deflection off Dawa and was sadly deemed an own goal. The third came when another excellent cross from Scarles was fumbled by the keeper and Fornals lashed home. More of that in the Premier League please, Pablo.

Scarles almost stroked home a fourth when he shot just wide. But overall a very satisfying evening and another game for Aguerd to gain match fitness in, plus late substitute debuts for Casey, Simon-Swyer, Appiah-Forson and Potts.
