West Ham moved into the English Premier League top four with a hard-fought 4-1 win away at 10-man Aston Villa on Sunday evening.
The match got off to a lively start with three goals scored in the opening half before two late on.
Benjamin Johnson, Jarrod Bowen, Declan Rice, and Pablo Fornals scored for the visitors, while Ollie Watkins grabbed the consolation for the hosts.
Villa were then forced to play the last 40 minutes with a man less after Ezri Konsa was shown a straight red card.
