West Ham

Barcelona have come from a goal down to earn a 2-1 win against Galatasaray in Istanbul and progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Lyon drew 1-1 with Porto to emerge 2-1 in the tie while Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Betis needed extra time to be separated before drawing 1-1, with the German side advancing 3-2 on aggregate. Barcelona have come from a goal down to earn a 2-1 win against Galatasaray in Istanbul and progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. In London, West Ham needed extra time to beat serial competition winners Sevilla 2-0 to progress 2-1 on aggregate on Thursday. Tomas Soucek opened the scoring for David Moyes' men in the 39th minute to level the tie before substitute Andriy Yarmolenko fired West Ham into a 2-1 lead in the 112th minute. The Italians will be joined in Friday's quarter-final draw by Rangers, who also progressed to the last-eight despite losing 2-1 to Red Star in Belgrade. Their 3-0 win in Glasgow was enough to see them through while Braga's 1-1 draw at Monaco gave them a 3-1 aggregate triumph. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who's proving an inspired signing from Arsenal, then bagged the winner five minutes after the restart after keeper Inaki Pena, who is actually on loan from Barcelona, made saves from Sergio Busquets and Pedri. "We played a match of huge personality," said Barcelona coach Xavi. "It was a great performance to fight back in a ground like this against a very good team. And a fine counter-attacking goal from Jermie Boga deep into injury-time then capped Atalanta's display by earning them victory on the night. The Ukrainian was also the Hammers' hero and crowd favourite when he netted the winner in their 2-1 Premier League victory over Aston Villa. Barca continued their stirring revival under new coach and old club hero Xavi Hernandez, following a goalless home leg in Catalonia. Defender Marcao headed the opener for Galatasaray but Pedri levelled before half-time with a lovely solo goal.

West Ham were drawn against Ligue 1 outfit Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Europa League yesterday afternoon.

It’s true that with the current potential draw with West Ham and then potentially Barcelona in the semis, who will need to beat Frankfurt, it’s hard to do worse. Sixth in the Premier League this year and sixth last year, two points off Chelsea. Big team and big draw, because beyond that there’s the winner of Eintracht Frankfurt-Barcelona. It’s a tough competition, you can see it with all the teams from the Champions League that have been knocked out in the Europa League. We knew we’d have big opponents. West Ham are currently sitting in sixth spot in the Premier League table whilst Lyon are struggling and are down in 10th spot in Ligue 1.

Corona spooned a volley over in the 70th minute, one of precious few opportunities for Sevilla. Even the veteran Ivan Rakitic could not get a grip on this game and he was sacrificed early in the second half to save him the ignominy of being run past by Rice again. It took until the 88th minute for Moyes to freshen his side up from a bench light on game changers, Yarmolenko replacing Benrahma as the tie moved inexorably towards extra time. Tonight one could be forgiven for wondering if Clement Turpin was determined to cast himself in that role with a performance that went beyond officious into the realms of pedantry. A flick over the top by Lanzini and Fornals was in behind, Gudelj getting across just in time. Tomas Soucek and, for the second time in a few days, Andriy Yarmolenko were the scorers in Thursday's 2-0 extra time win over Sevilla that saw the Hammers advance to the Europa League quarterfinals, but this was a team effort on and off the pitch.

Noble leapt on Declan Rice's back and cried tears of joy. The players celebrated by leaping on one another. When the game kicked off, West Ham were at it, almost from start to finish. Another wall of noise greeted the referee’s final whistle. And, of course, there was the manager: David Moyes’ steely determination to transform West Ham into a team to be feared, into a new force not just in English but in European football, and his jubilant celebrations at the final whistle. The atmosphere was building in and around the ground from mid-afternoon, with fans descending on Stratford, Hackney Wick and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from far and wide to be a part of the Club’s biggest European night in at least two decades, arguably four.
