West Ham enjoyed a flying start to pre-season with a 4-0 win over Boreham Wood.
Scorers: Ings 25â˛, Swyer 45+1â˛, Bowen 77â˛, Kodua 86â˛; Ilesanmi 90â˛
David Moyes named seven first-team regulars in his starting line-up for Mondayâs friendly at Meadow Park.
The Hammersâ wealth of experience soon showed as Danny Ings opened the scoring with a curling effort just inside the area.
A second followed shortly before half-time as Kamarai Swyer headed home from Pablo Fornalsâ cross into the box.
Substitute Jarrod Bowen put the Europa Conference League holders further ahead by meeting Conor Coventryâs delivery with a tidy finish.
In the closing stages, homegrown graduate Gideon Kodua produced a first-time finish to assure the visitors of a comfortable victory.
But Boreham Wood snatched a late consolation when Femi Ilesanmi struck a long-range effort which had the beating of Joseph Anang.
West Ham face another four pre-season friendlies before kicking off their new Premier League campaign at Bournemouth on 12 August.
