Benrahma rescues point for West Ham United with brace against Onuachu's Genk

Said Benrahma scored a brace for West Ham United in their 2-2 draw with Paul Onuachu’s Genk in a Uefa Europa League encounter on Thursday.

Ghana's Joseph Paintsil gave the Belgian First Division A club an early lead with his fourth-minute opener that separated both teams in the first-half.

Benrahma equalised for the visitors in the 59th minute and later put them in the lead after he converted Aaron Cresswell's assist, with eight minutes left on the clock.

The Algerian gave the Hammers hopes of getting their fourth straight win in Group H, but it was dashed after Tomas Soucek scored an own goal in the 87th minute.
