Lyon vs West Ham United, Europa League live: score and latest ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

GOOOOOAAAALLL! Bowen scores the third. That surely settles it, a quite stunning scoreline. What a pass from Lanzini in the build-up to the goal, a reverse ...

The world is waiting and watching, and that can only be good news for a club of West Ham’s increasingly lofty ambitions. The task is a tough one, though, and it has been made more difficult by an injury to key defender Kurt Zouma. With Cresswell and Zouma both missing, West Ham’s defence will be far less formidable — on paper at least — than it was last week. West Ham can tell these prospective players that they are ready to compete with European heavyweights and battle towards the top of the Premier League table, and they can point to the power of their stadium, which will hold 62,500 fans next season. It deflected off the defender and looked to be looping in, but it span wide for a corner. West Ham holding a fairly high line, with two tight lines of four across the middle of the pitch. If West Ham are to overcome Lyon, who could only draw 1-1 in London despite Aaron Cresswell’s red card, then a possible semi-final with Barcelona awaits for Moyes and his players. Declan Rice concedes a foul, but it comes from West Ham pushing up the pitch and trying to press. West Ham missing left-back Aaron Cresswell and Kurt Zouma this evening which will be a big miss for them. What a positive start to the second half from West Ham as Antonio flashes a shot across goal. West Ham fans have a banner reading "Ballon Dawson" and that is why! Imperative that West Ham manage this game through to half time, but they were threatening a second from a free-kick. Lyon having some possession and the ball almost runs for Aouar in the box before Areola claims a cross.
