West Ham United have progressed to the play-off round of the Europa League courtesy of a comfortable win over NK Domzale.

Slaven Bilic's Hammers kicked off a new era at the Olympic Stadium by defeating the Slovenian outfit 3-0 to triumph 4-2 on aggregate in the third round of qualifying, putting them just two matches away from the Europa League group stage proper.

Cheikhou Kouyate scored West Ham's first goal at their new East London home in the 8th minute when he back-heeled home from six yards after Sam byre's poor shot had diverted into his path.

The Senegalese midfielder than edged West Ham ahead overall on 25 minutes when neatly finishing Andy Carroll's knockdown header.

Domzale required one goal to force the contest into extra-time but their efforts were squandered in the 81st minute when summer signing Sofiane Feghouli raced onto a nice ball from skipper Mark Noble to rasp home his first West Ham goal, sending the club into the penultimate stage of Europe's second tier club competition.
