James Ward-Prowse and Mohammed Kudus combined to give West Ham a Europa League comeback win over Backa Toppola.<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Moyes’ side trailed before netting three goals across 16 second-half minutes to round off a 3-1 success.<\/p>\n

It’s becoming a habit as they’ve come back to win their last three European matches when trailing at halftime, doing so on two occasions last season on route to being crowned European Conference League champions.<\/p>\n

    With last season’s triumph fresh in the mind, the Hammers unexpectedly found themselves behind against competition debutants TSC, but it was a self-inflicted wound.<\/p>\n

    Early into the second half skipper Angelo Ogbonna didn’t know whether to go back to his goalkeeper and instead ended up slipping trying to bring down Petar Stanic who finished cooly.<\/p>\n

    \u017darko Lazeti\u0107’s visitors’ lead barely lasted 20 minutes when Nemanja Petrovic inadvertently put the ball into his own net before Ward-Prowse created a pair of goals.<\/p>\n

    Kudus and Tom\u00e1s Soucek were the beneficiaries of his well-delivered corners. Delving back into his Ajax days, Kudus has now been directly involved in eight goals (six goals and two assists) in his last nine matches in European competition.<\/p>\n
