West Ham 2-0 Rapid Vienna: Declan Rice and Said Benrahma maintain Hammers' perfect Europa League record in comfortable victory marred by clashes between fans

Pretty easy, this European lark. At least that’s the way West Ham are making it seem, and Declan Rice too. It’s two wins from two for the club, and two goals in two for their midfielder.

Anyone who dismisses Rice’s opener as a 'tap-in' is overlooking the run he made, from deep midfield and into the box, to get on the end of Michail Antonio’s assist.

It was the type which saw Frank Lampard rack up numbers for club and country. The last West Ham player to score at home in the main draw of a European competition, incidentally, was Lampard.
