SIEGER SPARDA BANK CUP

Sam Allardyce's men took on Hamburger SV in the northern German town of Flensburg. The Premier League side enjoyed a 3-1 success against the Bundesliga outfit at Stadion Flensburg, with Matt Jarvis playing a big part in the win.

All four goals were scored in the first half with Alou Diarra and James Tomkins both heading in Jarvis corners to put West Ham 2-0 up inside 30 minutes. Hamburg halved the deficit through Heiko Westermann in the 43rd minute but Sam Allardyce's men added a third soon after through a Ravel Morrison penalty after Jarvis had been brought down.
