West Ham bounced back from their heavy defeat to Mainz at the weekend with a 3-1 friendly victory over Hamburg in Flensburg.

The Hammers were beaten 4-1 by Mainz in the opening match of their tour to Germany - their first loss in pre-season - but enjoyed success against another Bundesliga outfit in the shape of Hamburg, with Matt Jarvis playing a big part in the win.

All four goals were scored in the first half with Alou Diarra and James Tomkins both heading in Jarvis corners to put West Ham 2-0 up inside 30 minutes. Hamburg halved the deficit through Heiko Westermann in the 43rd minute but Sam Allardyce's men added a third soon after through a Ravel Morrison penalty after Jarvis had been brought down.
