3 talking points as Rangers deadly double act Tom Lawrence and Rabbi Matondo blow West Ham away

Impressive Tom Lawrence was the star of the show as Rangers produced a second-half masterclass to sink West Ham.

A half-time sub, Lawrence combined with fellow newcomer Rabbi Matondo to score with his first touch before teeing up Ryan Kent. Lawrence then did the same for Matondo, who got in on the debut goal act to put Gio van Bronckhorst's side out of sight.

The Hammers were the first side to get a clear sight of goal. Powerhouse striker Michail Antonio was played in behind the Rangers defence, but Jon McLaughlin did well to narrow the angle and save before springing up to knock the ball behind for a corner to prevent Antonio nodding home. And that was about it as far as the first half was concerned. Perhaps predictably on the hottest day of the year, this one fell firmly into the 'typical pre-season fare' category.

Rangers introduced new boys Lawrence and Matondo at half-time. And it took less than three minutes for them to combine to devastating effect. Matondo was slipped in down the right channel and the Welsh winger got his head up to pick out his fellow new arrival. In one movement, Lawrence swept the ball home first time to break the deadlock.

Less than two minutes later, he had an assist to his name and it was 2-0. James Tavernier drove forward and passed inside to Lawrence, who was screaming on it. The former Derby County man had the awareness to flick the ball to Kent at the back post, and he smashed it past Lukasz Fabianksi to double the hosts' advantage.

The deadly duo were at it again before an hour was up. Tavernier hit the byline and fired the ball back to Lawrence, but he was able to cushion the ball into Matondo's path. He did the rest, taking a touch before firing beyond Fabianski for 3-0.
