West Ham ushered in the Olympic Stadium era under humble circumstances by hosting Slovenian side Domzale in Thursday's Europa League qualifiers, though the festivities were no less dazzling.

Cheikhou Kouyate's name will forever be etched in the Irons' record books after scoring the first goal at West Ham's new digs.

Unsatisfied with just one record, Kouyate became the first player to score a brace at the venue when he bagged one from a near-identical spot 17 minutes later.

The Olympic Stadium was brimming with pomp and circumstance for Thursday's match.
