Download West Ham United Vs Southampton 3 - 0 (Premier League) Highlights Mp4
A first-half brace from Pablo Fornals and a late goal from Declan Rice saw West Ham United beat Southampton to cap a memorable 2020/21 season with qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
Going into the final game of the season knowing that a point would be enough to secure sixth place - and with it European football next season - the Irons initial nerves were settled by a quickfire pair of close-range finishes from Fornals midway through the first half.
Those goals sent the 10,000 Claret and Blue-clad supporters - attending London Stadium for the first time since December - into delirium, and granted the Hammers an element of control they thenceforth never looked like relinquishing.
A late break from Rice saw the West Ham captain slot past Southampton keeper Alex McCarthy to cap a glorious day in East London - sealing a 3-0 win which sets the Clubs all-time record for Premier League points in a single season at 65.
