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:

Lyon 0 - 2 West Ham (1-3 agg)

GOAL! Lyon 0 - 2 West Ham (1-3 agg) - Rice, 44'⚽️

44 mins: West Ham double their lead! Lyon haven’t been the same since the opening goal went in and have looked vulnerable at the back. Ben Johnson gets forward on the left side and is given the ball by Manuel Lanzini. The cross comes into the middle and Emerson heads it out as far as Declan Rice. He takes a touch to set himself and drills a low shot at goal. Castello Lukeba tries to block it but only deflects the effort over the hands of his goalkeeper and the ball nestles in the back of the net.
