Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history...
West Ham United opened their tour of Australia with a thrilling 6-2 victory over A-League side Perth Glory at Optus Stadium on this day in 2023.
The goals flowed for the near 25,000 in attendance Down Under, as David Moyes’ men made it two wins from two pre-season games as preparations for the new campaign got underway.
An own goal by Glory defender Darryl Lachman got the scoring started, before a Gianluca Scamacca penalty, Jarrod Bowen’s double, Emerson’s header and Divin Mubama’s finish added to the Hammers’ tally.
Glory netted twice themselves – through an own goal from the unfortunate Luizão and Daniel Bennie – but West Ham did more than enough to claim the spoils on their first foray onto Australian soil in 28 years.
Enjoy the goals from that evening in the video player above.
