Video: Cresswell slams home West Ham’s third as they take control against Freiburg

West Ham were in dreamland after Aaron Cresswell slammed home a third for the Hammers in their Europa League Round of 16 second leg tie.

Lucas Paqueta had given the hosts an early lead against Freiburg, before Jarrod Bowen celebrated his England call=up with a sublime finish before half-time.

Cresswell hadn’t scored since April 2022 but made no mistake from Bowen’s assist.

Taking one touch to set himself, he wasn’t closed down quick enough and he made the Bundesliga side pay by finding the far corner.

A lovely finish from Aaron Cresswell ?
