Feghouli’s first West Ham goal added gloss to the win with 10 minutes remaining and the fans began to stream out, either anxious by the travel logistics or simply hoping to make it to Stratford for a last-minute nosy around the shops. Sam Byram combined with Valencia and scuffed a shot goalwards, allowing Kouyate the chance to hook the ball past Axel Maraval and into the net.
After seeing Andy Carroll’s scissor-kick blocked on 16 minutes, Kouyate scored his second nine minutes later following an assist by the England forward, who headed down Michail Antonio’s cross for Kouyate to prod the ball home from six yards.
