SC Freiburg 1-2 West Ham: Aguerd goal earns Europa League win and English record

West Ham continued their successful start to life in the Europa League with a record-breaking victory at Freiburg.

Lucas Paqueta leapt highest to set the Irons on course with a goal from a well-timed cross by Jarrod Bowen.

Following their first-half dominance, West Ham were rocked when Roland Sallai struck a close-range equaliser shortly after the restart.

However, Nayef Aguerd nodded a James Ward-Prowse corner past Noah Atubolu to secure the win.

The London club clinched an impressive record by becoming the first English side to go 17 consecutive games in European competition without defeat.
