Super Eagles forward Anthony Ujah ensured West Ham go into their premiere league season opener against Arsenal on the back of a defeat after his brace condemned them to a 2-1 loss against Werder Bremen.
Following their disastrous 2-2 draw against Romania’s Astra Giurgiu in Europa League qualifying, the Hammers led for just one minute of the match after Diafra Sakho’s opener was cancelled out immediately by Anthony Ujah.
It was Ujah again 11 minutes later who provided what would be the winner for the 10th placed side in last year's Bundesliga.
His first goal was a 25-yard strike from and even though he was a handful throughout,West Ham goalkepper Adrian will be disappointed not to have denied him.
There was no good fortune required for Nigerian Ujah’s second on 31 minutes, as he took a touch to beat Hammers defender James Tomkins and flashed his shot across the goal beyond Adrian
Ujah has been in fine form since the start of pre - season after joining Werder Bremen from Cologne at the end of last season.
