A Hat-trick from Divin Mubama gave West Ham U21’s a 3-0 victory over Feyenoord in the Premier League International Cup.
Mubama who has scored five goals in three games helped the youngsters to a fine victory over the Dutch team at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

A powerful effort on nine minutes was followed by a cool finish and a slotted effort in the second half.
The win over Feyenoord combined with the Premier League 2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last Monday with the defensive resiliency shown in the victory against Tottenham Hotspur last Friday has led to 3 successive wins in all competitions, scoring 7 goals and only conceding 1 goal.
Mubama’s efforts have been on the up since a first team debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League two weeks ago, and the 18-year-old admitted he is still flying high from such an incredible evening, but refused to take sole recognition for his goal scoring form.
He told West Ham..
“To be that guy who can be relied on to get goals, that’s amazing, It’s part of my job in the team and it’s something I love doing. But without my teammates, there is nothing there. No goals would come for me without my teammates so I’m thankful to everyone in this group”
“I think everyone can see after that special night in Bucharest that my confidence is up, and I’ve been trying to maintain my standards. I’m finding the back of the net on the regular now and I’m enjoying my football. Long may it continue.”
“This is really big. For the boys, this is another great performance and that’s now three big performances in a row for us. It’s good for me today too to get on the scoresheet three times. The boys collectively played really well and I just was able to take my chances in this game.
“I think getting those goals comes down to repetition in training. Even last year and now, this season, I’ve been getting my reps in. It’s something I’ve been working on and doing almost daily since I was a little kid. It’s a lot of fun. Confidence is sky-high at the moment and hopefully we can carry that on.
Mubama is keen to keep up his progress with the U18’s, as the U21s follow the senior side in taking a scheduled break due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
