West Ham's 2016 pre-season got off to an inglorious start as it suffered a 3-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders.

Slaven Bilic picked a line-up that featured a mix of experience and youth, with Andy Carroll partnering with 19 year-old Jordan Brown up front, while Winston Reid, Mark Noble and Adrian were the other senior names in the XI.

Newcomer Sofiane Feghouli was the biggest name on the bench as West Ham kicked off its preseason in Seattle.

Bilic's side showed all the signs of a team lacking match fitness, with a number of combinations just failing to come off, before the Sounders took the lead in the 42nd minute after Adrian bought down Seattle forward Herculez Gomez, who converted from the spot.

Bilic picked an entirely different team for the second half, giving West Ham fans a first glimpse of Feghouli in the club's colours and he looked bright operating as an inside forward starting on the left wing.

But it did not last as West Ham's youthful side showed fatigue in the last minutes, conceding another two goals.

The exceptional Jordan Morris made it 2-0 with 20 minutes remaining when he picked up the scraps on the back of West Ham keeper Raphael Spiegel's good save from Oalex Anderson's shot, before he made it 3-0 with his second of the game just two minutes later.
