Last year’s finalists knocked out of League Cup

Southampton, who lost 3-2 to Manchester United in February’s final at Wembley, fell at the first hurdle this time.

Danny Batth headed in Ivan Cavaleiro’s corner in the 67th minute and substitute Donovan Wilson ran through to make it 2-0 with three minutes left.

The Hammers took the lead five minutes before half-time when Diafra Sakho slotted in his first goal since November before Andre Ayew added a second three minutes later.
