West Ham United eased to a 3-0 home win over struggling Hull City in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Hammers took the lead after the break through Andy Carroll's close-range effort. West Ham made it 2-0 when Morgan Amalfitano dinked the ball into the net.

The Irons ended any hope of a Hull fightback when Stewart Downing found the net to push West Ham up to seventh in the Premier League table.
