West Ham United fans wrapped up their pre-season programme on a winning note.

The Hammers went into Saturday’s Betway Cup clash with Atalanta on the back of four wins and two draws.

Standout results included a 6-2 win against Celtic and a 1-0 victory over fellow Premier League outfit Brentford.

And on Saturday, David Moyes’ charges beat the high-flying Italians 2-0 at the London Stadium to lift the Betway Cup.

Michail Antonio opened the scoring late in the first half after great work from Said Benrahma.

And Fornals wrapped up the victory late on, deflecting Benrahma’s stooping header into the back of the net.

The 25-year-old was overall superb against Atalanta, especially once allowed to move into the centre of the park.

He got forward regularly, linked up well with Benrahma and was a constant threat against the opposition.

And plenty of West Ham fans sung his praises during and after the game on social media:

West Ham get their Premier League season underway next Sunday, away at Newcastle.
