Silkeborg IF 2-3 West Ham LIVE REACTION: Dawson admits Hammers ‘were sloppy but got the job done’ as Irons hold on for another win in Europa Conference League

West Ham continued to build upon their positive start in the Europa Conference League with a 3-2 win over Silkeborg in Denmark.

The Hammers came from behind to beat FCSB last Thursday on their Group B opener and needed to secure a similar victory on matchday two.

Silkeborg had taken a fifth-minute lead through Kasper Kusk but Gianluca Scamacca's stunning effort, either side of Manuel Lanzini's penalty and Craig Dawson's header, settled the issue.

Silkeborg pulled back a late goal to ensure a nervy finish for the Hammers but they ultimately held on for all three points.
