West Ham youngster Anthony Scully’s strong scoring start to the season continued on Sunday.

Scully netted twice in West Ham’s under-23 side’s 4-2 win over Sunderland.

He scored the first and fourth goals, with winger Nathan Holland bagging a brace himself in between.

Scully has only recently converted to play up front, due to West Ham loaning out striker Oladapo Afolayan to Mansfield.

This brace lifted his tally to five goals in five under-23 games this season.

Add in his brace against Newport County in the EFL Trophy, and his record of seven goals in six games looks even better.

Maintaining this kind of record will be tough for the 20-year-old, who has represented Ireland at youth level.

But the longer he keeps on scoring like this, the better, and West Ham have to be seriously encouraged by what they are seeing out of the young prospect.
