Said Benrahma scored a spectacular free-kick to send West Ham to a 2-1 win over Anderlecht in the Europa Conference League match.
The Algerian star has struggled for regular starts under David Moyes this term but was handed a rare outing from the off at the London Stadium and it’s safe to say that he made his mark.
The HammersYou were given a free-kick at 25 yards and he showed the kind of confidence that earned you a move from Brentford 2021. He stood over the ball with real intent.
Whipping the ball over the heads of the Anderlecht wall, Benrahma’s effort then dipped fiercely into the bottom right-hand corner of the Belgian side’s net.
East London was buzzing with excitement, and it got better when Jarrod Bowen made a surprise of his own.
To make it 2-0, the forward grabbed the ball from the edge of the penalty box and shot a shot past Anderlecht goalkeeper Hendrik Vand Crombrugge.
Moyes will be delighted with Moyes’s two goals. The goals were enough to win at the London Stadium, and allow them to qualify for the knockout stages.
