West Ham 2-0 Rapid Vienna: Declan Rice and Said Benrahma on target in victory

West Ham manager David Moyes wants to "try and be in Europe after Christmas" as his side claimed a deserved Europa League group stage win over Rapid Vienna.

Declan Rice's first-half tap-in and Said Benrahma's injury-time effort gave them victory at the London Stadium.

Following on from their success at Dinamo Zagreb a fortnight ago, Moyes' men are in command of Group H ahead of back-to-back meetings with Belgian side Genk.

Rice also hit a post with a near-post flick and Craig Dawson saw his header bounce back off the woodwork.

Substitute Jarrod Bowen should have scored in the second half, but blazed wide with only defender Kevin Wimmer on the line to beat.
