Silkeborg 2-3 West Ham: David Moyes side survive late scare to beat Danish hosts in Conference League group game as Manuel Lanzini, Gianluca Scamacca and Craig Dawson all net in the first half for the Hammers

West Ham survived a scare in Denmark as they came back from behind again to make it two wins out of two in the Europa Conference League.

Silkeborg - managed by ex-Aston Villa defender Kent Nielsen - had never won a game in the group stages of a European competition but the home side took a surprise early lead, thanks to a superbly taken goal by Kasper Kusk.

A well worked move down the left flank saw Lukas Engel’s cross find Kusk in space and his first-time finish left Alphonse Areola rooted to the spot and nestled into the back of net.
