West Ham survived a scare in Denmark as they came back from behind again to make it two wins out of two in the Europa Conference League.

Silkeborg - managed by ex-Aston Villa defender Kent Nielsen - had never won a game in the group stages of a European competition but the home side took a surprise early lead, thanks to a superbly taken goal by Kasper Kusk.

A well worked move down the left flank saw Lukas Engel’s cross find Kusk in space and his first-time finish left Alphonse Areola rooted to the spot and nestled into the back of net.
