West Ham began life after Declan Rice with a comfortable 6-2 victory over Perth Glory in the first game of their pre-season tour of Australia.

Former captain Rice, 24, has completed a £105million move to Arsenal, ending his 10-year association with the Hammers.

David Moyes' men responded in the perfect way at the Optus Stadium, with Jarrod Bowen the star of the show with two goals.

The Irons went ahead through a Darryl Lachman own goal as Gianluca Scamacca, Emerson and Divin Mubama also got on the scoresheet.

They face London rivals Tottenham on Tuesday before flying home from Australia.

A clash with Dagenham and Redbridge on English soil follows before trips to Rennes and Bayer Leverkusen prior to their Premier League opener against Bournemouth on August 12.
