Jarrod Bowen believes teams will fear West Ham in the Europa League after their perfect start in the competition. The Hammers made it three wins from three on Thursday night as Bowen’s fine solo goal sealed all three points against Genk after Craig Dawson and Issa Diop had struck from set-pieces. West Ham moved six points clear at the top of Group H with three games to play and look comfortable at this new level so far.

West Ham United can make it three wins from as many Europa League games tonight with what looks like a fairly enviable tie at home to Genk side in somewhat of a crisis. David Moyes’ side captalised on Rapid Vienna’s win over Dinamo Zagreb with a 3-0 victory at home to Genk to move six points clear in Group H. While the first-half performance was somewhat laboured, two goals in as many minutes after the interval following Craig Dawson’s opener just before it made it a relatively easy evening for West Ham.

Not for the first time since the return of David Moyes, West Ham are having to reassess what might be possible this season. The Hammers, new to the Europa League group stages, have three comfortable wins from three without a goal in reply after despatching Genk with minimal fuss to move six points clear in the group and within touching distance of the knockout stages. The last side to start a Europa League campaign with three straight wins was Sevilla two years ago, with the Spaniards going on to win it.
