West Ham United manager David Moyes has explained why he substituted striker Gianluca Scamacca early in the second half during the 4-0 Europa Conference League round of 16 second leg win over AEK Larnaca.
Scamacca made his first start in over two months at the London Stadium and opened the scoring on 20 minutes when getting a toed finish to the end of a solo run, putting West Ham 1-0 up on the night and three goals clear on aggregate.
Following a quick-fire brace from Jarrod Bowen, Moyes made a triple substitution on 54 minutes, taking Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Scamacca all off, amid recent comments surrounding his low levels of “physical data.”
