Mwepu back for u23s in defeat

Second-half goals from Todd Miller and Cam Peupion weren’t enough for Albion’s under-23s, as they went down 3-2 to West Ham United at the London Stadium.

Miller made it 1-1 just after the break and Peupion got Albion back into the game after the hosts had scored two goals in four minutes to establish a 3-1 advantage.

Albion kept pushing but couldn’t find a way through again and they stay ninth in the Premier League 2 table.

OnepositiveforAlbionwas the return of Enock Mwepu in midfield for the first 45 minutes after the Zambian spent the best part of two months out with a hamstring injury.
