James Ward-Prowse takes just seven minutes to grab first set-piece assist for West Ham after £30m move

The midfielder arrived in a £30million deal from Southampton earlier this week and was chucked straight in for the Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Renowned as a set piece specialist, it was only fitting that Ward-Prowse's first assist would come from a dead-ball situation.

Standing over a corner on the right-hand side, the 28-year-old curled a wonderful ball into the box and found the head of Nayef Aguerd at the back post who headed West Ham in front.

It extends his glorious record from set pieces, however Chelsea equalised through Carney Chukwuemeka shortly before the half-hour mark.

He then added another in the second half as he teed up Michail Antonio from open play to make it 2-1 to the Hammers.

West Ham will certainly be hoping that there's more to come as they look to push for European qualification once again this term.
