Paul Konchesky praises Viviane Asseyi as West Ham hold on against Reading

West Ham manager Paul Konchesky waxed lyrical on star striker Viviane Asseyi after the former Bayern Munich forward got off the mark in the Women's Super League with two goals netted in the first half against Reading.

The Hammers picked up another three points to add on to the maximum that they took from Aston Villa last weekend. Dagny Brynjarsdottir opened the goalscoring with yet again another headed goal in the fourth minute to set the east Londoners on track for an excellent first-half performance.

Before the 30th-minute mark, 28-year-old Asseyi netted two very different goals. The French international's first one was very scrappy, whilst her second one was a more composed finish one-v-one after Melisa Felis dissected the Reading backline with a through ball.
