That's the end of this live text now. Thanks for joining us tonight.

Read the match report of how West Ham beat Viborg here.

Linfield were winning 2-0 against Rigas Futbola Skola in the Europa Conference League with two minutes to go but that ended 2-2 in Latvia.

Here is the report for that one.

Scottish side Hearts were in Europa League action earlier. They lost 2-1 to Zurich.

Read the report of that here.

The stats paint a picture of a very even game - 50-50 on possession. On shots it was 8-9.

West Ham were below their best but they deserved to win this game.

If like me, you presumed Slovacko were from Slovakia... you're wrong. Turns out they're the Czech Cup winners.

The biggest winners in the Europa Conference League play-offs tonight were AZ Alkmaar, who beat Gil Vicente 4-0.

There were also wins for Villarreal, Fiorentina, Partizan Belgrade and Anderlecht. Other teams too. Some I've never heard of.

Well done to Slovacko on your 3-0 win over AIK, whoever you are.

West Ham United

West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna to BT Sport: "It's been a long journey. I'm glad to come back. I want to thank everyone. Thanks to my family and the medical staff behind me all the time.

"It's a great chance to get back in front of our fans. It's a very emotional night. I'm very happy to get back.

"Our squad has a lot of leaders. We will make sure our season is going to be fantastic.

"I'm lucky I've been here for many years. This is a family. Everyone, medical staff, media staff encouaged me - pushed me to get through things.

"It's been hard for me. Sitting on the couch and seeing the team doing really well last season.

"Everything changed after Covid. Everyone wanted to do something important for this football club. Mark Noble, who has just retired, has been really important for us and around us."

We are just about to hear from West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna, who captained the side tonight on his first appearance since November when he damaged his knee ligaments.

After seeing that Jarrod Bowen goal, I'm wondering if I was a bit hasty in selling him from my fantasy football team this afternoon.

Viborg's fans haven't moved yet. The Shamrock Ultras are still making plenty of noise.

If you're just joining...

Maxwel Cornet set up fellow summer signing Gianluca Scamacca for the Italian's first goal for the club.

Then Jarrod Bowen added a second from outside the box.

Both players were replaced by Said Benrahma and Michail Antonio, who linked up for Antonio's third goal.

This was West Ham's first win of the season after losses to Manchester City and Nottingham Forest.

The players all look happy enough shaking hands at full-time.

Viborg put in a good display. They are not one of Denmark's top teams.

It's all over. West Ham just need to avoid a two-goal defeat in Denmark next week to seal their place in the Europa Conference League group stages.

Vladimir Coufal helps to deal with the corner. A minute to go.

Viborg send nearly everyone up for a late free-kick. Sub Jonas Thorsen has a chance but his shot is deflected wide. Corner.

Three minutes added on.

A Viborg cross is just overhit. And now Nils Mortimer Moreno hammers a shot in which deflects back off his face. They are still a threat.

Viborg make a couple of late changes. Don't worry yourself about their names.

Good tracking by West Ham debutant Thilo Kehrer to chase down a Viborg player and win the ball.

West Ham bring on summer signing from Swansea, Flynn Downes, for Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Conor Coventry
