West Ham’s U21 side had to come from behind again as they fought for a 2-2 draw in the Premier League International Cup.

The Academy side had to battle back into the contest in a well battled second half display, which Brad Dolaghan grabbed a brace against Athletic Club B.

West Ham were unfortunate not to grab all 3 points though, after a 2nd half of full dominance in proceedings for which Mark Robsons side will be left ruing.

“I think we should’ve won the game, but that first half is the worst we’ve been both in and out of possession this season,” Robson told the club’s Official Website.

“We got nowhere near them, and they completely bossed the game. Although we started to get a grip in the last 15 minutes before half-time, I was very disappointed with how we started.

“At the break, we sorted a few things out. Steve [Potts] got into them about the defending and he was absolutely spot on because we were miles better in the second half. We were much more aggressive, front-footed, and started picking up loose balls.

“The first few chances came from us winning the ball back high up the pitch, which is what we’ve been doing all season. We just dropped our standards in that first half, but credit to the boys for turning it around.”
