West Ham United Under-23s started their phenomenal start to life under Dmitri Halajko on Wednesday night in Newport.
The young Hammers found themselves 4-1 down at half-time, despite going ahead in the first minute but showed unbelievable fight to come back and win 5-4 in the Leasing.com Trophy.
It comes a week after the first team triumphed 2-0 at Rodney Parade in the Carabao Cup, but this result will surely be the more memorable affair.
Plenty of fans took to social media as it happened, and couldn’t believe what was unfolding against the League Two club…

@tone_hammer: @WestHam Something special is happening at West Ham , what a ride the next few seasons will be . I am going to love every minute of it. 
@WhufcLdn: @WestHam We really are winning the league
read west ham’s verdict
West Ham’s U23s side have now played 12 games under Halajko and haven’t lost a single one of them.
The Irons have won three of their opening four Premier League 2 Second Division games, most recently drawing against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
It seems like a very special group of players are currently rising through the ranks and we should certainly keep on eye on how their campaign develops.
