West Ham winger Nathan Holland produced a sublime performance to help the under-23 team pick up a vital win against Swansea City in Wales.
Holland provided two assists and caused problems all evening as West Ham beat Swansea’s under-23 side 3-0 in a crucial relegation battle.
The young Hammers still remain in the relegation zone but have given themselves a good chance of staying up in the Premier League 2 with this win.
Nathan Holland dazzles for the academy
Holland played a central role in this victory and it wouldn’t surprise anyone who has watched the kid play before. The 20-year-old started on the left wing and had the beating of the right-back on numerous occasions.
Holland’s first assist was a clever square ball into the box for new boy Mesaque Dju to tap home. And the ex-Everton winger provided another assist when he glided past the defender, showing a turn of pace and deceptive trickery, before rolling the ball into the path of Dan Kemp.
The former England under-19 international has played one senior game for the Hammers but injuries have frustrated his progress.
Now West Ham fans want to see Holland in the first-team and here are some opinions on Twitter after his under-23 masterclass.
