West Ham

But David Moyes has made West Ham tough. Powered by injustice after seeing Felix Zwayer dismiss Cresswell for fouling Moussa Dembele, the 10 men dug in and took ...

Gusto did not do enough to stop Fornals and when the Spaniard prodded the ball on to Boateng it ran through to Bowen, whose messy shot hit the Lyon defender and bounced over Lopes. Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice struggled to keep the ball away from Tanguy Ndombele and Thiago Mendes, although there was hope on the break. The striker’s touch had taken him away from goal, while Zouma was covering, and it felt ludicrous that there was no intervention from VAR. West Ham refused to let it happen. There were possibilities when Lyon played through Houssem Aouar and the opening goal almost arrived when Lucas Paquetá broke down the left, only for Dembélé to turn the Brazilian’s cross wide. After all, Lyon were Champions League semi-finalists two years ago and, although their domestic form has been inconsistent this season, they remain an accomplished team and it quickly became clear that they were capable of making life uncomfortable for West Ham.

Match report as 10-man West Ham hold Lyon to a 1-1 home draw in Europa League quarter-final first leg; Hammers defender Aaron Cresswell sent off just before ...

After their team's heroics against Sevilla at the London Stadium three weeks ago, the West Ham supporters were in full voice in anticipation of their Europa League quarter-final first leg with Lyon before kick-off. The players stuck at it but we didn't play well. West Ham's frustration though, quickly turned to joy as Bowen struck seven minutes into the second half to give the 10-man Hammers a surprise lead. We had one or two opportunities ourselves but overall it was a backs to the wall sort of performance in the second half. When we went in at half-time knowing we had only got 10 men it made it a difficult job. I'm certainly not going to comment about the referee.

A pitch invader cost West Ham a chance to score after interrupting an attack during the first leg of a Europa League quarter-final against Lyon.

People have died and been put against a wall for what they believe in." You have to stand up for what you believe in. Not all of the fans played their part though.

David Moyes criticised the supporter who ran onto the pitch and ruined a promising West Ham attack during the 1-1 Europa League draw with Lyon.

It was the same phase of play as the red card, and I would have expected VAR to do something about it. Technically they were very good, but we defended well and made it hard for them." "This is a really good football club doing so many good things.

West Ham rallied after losing Aaron Cresswell to a contentious red card but were denied a first leg win by the mercurial French playmaker.

“When you look at his face, he winks when the camera goes onto him. Antonio’s air-kick proved costly as moments later Ndombele tapped in the equaliser for his first goal since returning to France in January. Bowen, denied a first England call-up last month due to injury, has scored nine goals in 14 games in 2022. After a slow start, West Ham soon grew into it. - Antonio – 7 - Fornals – 7

West Ham overcame the sending-off of Aaron Cresswell to draw their first leg with Lyon.

It was a case of staying in the game. David Moyes, West Ham manager, speaking to UEFA.com: "That was an incredibly good, resilient performance in the second half. Peter Bosz, Lyon manager, speaking to UEFA.com: "Absolutely [I'm disappointed] because I think we played a good first half; in their stadium we were dominant and had a lot of ball possession. A full-strength West Ham will be confident of beating Lyon next week in France. It was always going to be difficult. After a first half spent sizing Lyon up, the complexion of the tie was completely changed with Cresswell's red card, but even though they let a lead slip, West Ham can be very proud of their performance.

West Ham United boss David Moyes says his team will head to Lyon with encouragement for their UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg after battling to ...

We're right in this tie and we’ll go there to try to win the game. We know that we’re still trying to get better, we’re challenging ourselves against a lot of good teams, with different styles. That was the pleasing part of the performance, but I wasn’t pleased with the football in the first half and I wasn’t pleased with the way we started the game.

West Ham have been left to count the cost of the decision to send off Aaron Cresswell in the first half of their Europa League quarter-final with Lyon.

I honestly don’t think it’s a foul, let alone a red card. That’s at the very worst. “I don’t think there’s actually a foul. “Everyone slaughters the referees that we’ve got here in the Premier League. I’ve said this for years, I think that we’ve got the best referees in the world, I genuinely do. “The only thing I really want to focus on is do you think it’s a foul on Jarrod Bowen in the lead up to the goal? “We have to deal with it and I think we did that tonight and put in a great shift.”

“Jarrod's the one getting in areas to score us goals. He was actually having one of his quieter nights before being in the right place at the right time to capitalise on Jerome Boateng’s slack mistake and put West Ham in front. “I didn't get a chance to speak to him but I felt he should have made contact with the ball. We had the ability to score and had one or two opportunities.” “He started slow tonight but so did the rest of the team,” Moyes said. “We didn't have much of the ball in the second half, the manager added.

The former Celtic star was at the centre of controversy during Lyon's Europa League quarter-final draw in London on Thursday night.

"This is a really good football club doing so many good things. Dembele went tumbling to the ground following the contact and Cresswell was shown a straight red card, having run a serious risk by putting his hands on the forward in the first place. The French striker loved a social media wind-up during his stint at Celtic and revelled in noising up Rangers fans, much to the delight of the Parkhead faithful.

Craig Dawson's lion-hearted contribution to Thursday's backs-to-the-wall UEFA Europa League draw with Lyon was the embodiment of this West Ham United team.

“Moments like tonight show the togetherness in the group. Eleven v eleven I’m sure we’ll give them a game.” “The group here is special,” Dawson explained.

It was a horrible decision and it titled the game slightly in the visitor’s favour. Dawson was outstanding at the back last night. Rock at the back

West Ham are “massive” to quote the chant of the moment – and so, surprisingly, was the London Stadium in the memorable Europa League win against Sevilla.

Memories are being made, such as a tearful Andriy Yarmolenko scoring against Villa and raising his hands to the sky. In the Covid season of 2020-21 Moyes started to make dramatic progress. The nadir for the London Stadium was the pitch invasion during a 3-0 home defeat to Burnley in March 2018. It was not, as some feared, a shagpile offcut from Sullivan’s home, but a claret surround with the club’s name emblazoned at the sides. Another problem was how to cover the athletics track. The diehards had many complaints: the distance from the pitch, plastic fans, the long walk from Stratford and the sale of popcorn.
