Evening StandardWest Ham 2-0 Rapid Vienna: Declan Rice and Said Benrahma on target in second straight Europa League win
Rice’s first-half tap-in looked likely to be the only goal of an attritional contest - the Hammers’ first European group stage tie at the London Stadium - until Said Benrahma also struck in the final minute of stoppage time as David Moyes’ side followed up their opening win over Dinamo Zagreb to take control of Group H. West Ham - who made seven changes from the Premier League win over Leeds, with only Rice, Benrahma, Aaron Cresswell and Michail Antonio keeping their places - could have been ahead inside six minutes, but Rice’s strong header from a Cresswell free-kick smashed against the post and Issa Diop scrambled the rebound wide.
