West Ham 3-1 Cardiff City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: London Stadium, London
Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT
Lucas Perez scored his first two Premier League goals for West Ham as Cardiff City were beaten on Tuesday.
The Hammers have now won successive top-flight fixtures for the first time since January 2017, coincidently achieved two weeks after Perez's last league goal.
Perez came on for the injured Marko Arnautovic in the 40th minute and swung the contest West Ham's way with two quick goals shortly after the break.
Michail Antonio sealed the victory on the hour with a typical header before Josh Murphy nodded in a stoppage-time consolation for the Bluebirds.
