West Ham United continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League 2 Division 1 season with a 5-2 victory over fellow promoted side Swansea City.

Nathan Holland slotted in after just 30 seconds to put the Hammers 1-0 up, before George Byers levelled for the Swans.

But Grady Diangana found the top corner and Toni Martinez scored to make it 3-1 at half-time.

Dan Kemp then scored with a superb finish from 40 yards and Holland’s cross was converted by Martinez for West Ham’s fifth. Courtney Baker-Richardson scored a consolation goal for Swansea.

The victory puts West Ham second in Division 1 with seven points. Swansea have one point from three matches.
