The game had picked up the pace at the London Olympic Stadium with goals coming from Declan Rice of David Moyes’ side. This was complemented by efforts from Ryan Fredericks and Issa Diop.
Three points that the team managed to secure left the Hammers in fourth position for the first time since the premier League of 1992. It was also the first time that West ham secured a double over Sheffield in the top flight since the 1967/68 season. An even bigger one-sided game could have led Chris Wilder’s side to a larger defeat, who accepted a penalty in the sixth minute itself.
Wilder who had confirmed before the game that his side would play hard and fight for every ball couldn’t prove it in the end and had West Ham plain sailing with Blades losing all luster
