Mateta’s attempt was stopped by Hammers custodian Lukasz Fabianski with his right foot, but the ball looped up to Eze, who scored the rebound into the roof of the net.

With a 4-0 lead after a goal by West Ham’s Emerson in the 20th minute, Mateta scored his first of two goals in the 31st, sending manager David Moyes flying out of his technical area to yell at his players.
