Wrote by: EP's webmaster

Quality of finishing resulted in West Ham beating Boro by three goals to nil in the 2nd half. After a goal-less first half in which Mido created a great chance to Aliadiare who his the post, the home side scored an early goal and added a 2nd after an own goal by Boro's defender Young. The 3rd came through Ashton after a quick counter attack. On the other side, Boro got many chances but they lacked the quality in finishing and Tuncay wasted three real chances by himself alone.
