West Ham train ahead of UEL quarter-final second leg away to Lyon

Follow live reaction as West Ham advanced to their first European semi-final in 46 years thanks to a stunning 3-0 win in Lyon in the Europa League.

With the tie in the balance following last week’s 1-1 draw at the London Stadium, West Ham had to withstand early Lyon pressure before Craig Dawson’s header put them in front.

Captain Declan Rice doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time with a deflected strike before Jarrod Bowen added a third after the restart to send the travelling Hammers into dreamland.

The result is one of the best in West Ham’s history - and David Moyes’ side will face Eintracht Frankfurt for a place in the final after the German side shocked Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Follow reaction to West Ham’s famous win, below:

Good evening

Hello and welcome to live coverage of tonight’s Europa League quarter-finals, as West Ham look to keep their European run alive in Lyon. David Moyes’ side are looking to advance to their first European semi-final in 46 years, with Barcelona potentially awaiting in the final four, but must first overcome a Lyon side who have plenty of recent experience in continental competitions and who will be backed by a crowd of almost 60,000 at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

The Hammers travel to France with the tie finely poised following last week’s 1-1 draw at the London Stadium after the hosts were made to play the whole of the second half down to 10 men following Aaron Creswell’s red card. Jarrod Bowen’s opener had sent the London Stadium into delirium but Tottenham Hotspur loanee Tanguy Ndombele equalised to ensure it remains all square ahead of tonight’s match.

And with West Ham prioritising the Europa League in recent weeks, in expense of their Premier League position and top-four bid, their season could be on the line - but an away victory in France would take it to even greater heights.

Before that, though, Leicester take on PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie. A 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium last week means there is everything to play for as the Foxes look to reach their first European semi-final.

Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho missed chances in the opening stalemate against PSV, who trail Dutch leaders Ajax by four points in the Eredivise, and a place in the final four of the inaugural season of the Europa Conference League is up for grabs.
