West Ham United took a big step towards qualifying for the Europa Conference League’s knockout rounds on Thursday night with a 1-0 win over Anderlecht.
A fourth goal of the season in this competition for substitute Gianluca Scamacca was enough to earn David Moyes’ side three points at Lotto Park, moving the Hammers five points clear at the top of Group B at the halfway point.
After Sunday’s London derby against Fulham, the Irons play host to their Belgian opponents again next Thursday and a win could not just seal a top two spot in the group, but it may also seal top spot, which would earn them qualification into the Round of 16.
