West Ham face Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Europa League; first leg at the London Stadium is on Thursday night with second leg in France on April 14; ...

This would not only be a big boom for Lyon but for French football as well and I think they'll be motivated by that. He's one of the players who I think felt like it was time for him to move on but didn't get that move. I definitely think ability down the wings is something that West Ham can look to capitalise on. They've certainly got more forward-thinking players now that they've moved Bruno Guimaraes on to Newcastle and brought in Faivre who has hit the ground running. But otherwise, I don't see Lyon being able to afford bringing in Ndombele, and certainly not if they fail to land Champions League football. Juventus were very strongly interested in him and his form has really gone off the boil since. It's just a question of whether they feel like putting in a performance, but I think they'll be highly motivated across these two legs against West Ham. I think there's a lot of complacency within the squad. I'm sure West Ham fans will remember Moussa Dembele from his time in England and also in Scotland; he's started to come into a bit of form. He's coming through at the moment and one of the latest academy gems. It definitely hasn't been a disaster. The appointment of Peter Bosz hasn't worked out, there's been well-documented issues within the club at leadership level, so it's quite an unbalanced ship at this moment in time.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Europa League quarter-final first leg between West Ham United and Lyon from London Stadium.

The referee, already whistle happy, decides it is denying a clear goalscoring opportunity and is distraught as he walks off. That seems to have livened things up a little. But I find that quite difficult considering we are relative newcomers. Cresswell's red card will have changed the complexion of the second half before it begins though. He is battered by objects thrown from the crowd as stewards drag away. West Ham are attacking and have free men up but a supporter decides to invade the pitch bringing the game to a halt.

Jarrod Bowen was on target as West Ham battled to a 1-1 Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw against Lyon after Aaron Cresswell was controversially ...

There was a sour note to the match after a pitch invader – the second of the game – jumped out of the home end and actually stopped a promising Hammers attack before he was escorted off. Boateng made a mess of his attempt to control the ball and it rolled behind Bowen, but the winger managed to retrieve it, turn and clip the ball over Lyon keeper Anthony Lopes via a deflection off the sliding Boateng. Kurt Zouma was also on the scene as cover but Zwayer decided Cresswell was the last man and pulled out a straight red card, to the obvious delight of the winking Dembele and the dismay of David Moyes.

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.

The decision could have left West Ham with a mountain to climb ahead of the second leg in the French city overlooked by the Alps next week. The Hammers, playing in the latter stages of a major European competition for the first time in 41 years, were up against it after Cresswell was harshly dismissed for a foul on Moussa Dembele before half-time. Jarrod Bowen was on target as West Ham battled to a 1-1 Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw against Lyon after Aaron Cresswell was controversially sent off.

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.

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.

Following their defeat to Celtic last Sunday which left them six points behind the Hoops at the top of the Premiership, they now need some inspiration to grab a last-four spot in Europe.

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.

The Hammers continued their memorable Europa League journey on Thursday night when they drew 1-1 with Lyon.

“When you are getting into the knockout games you are liable to play all your main players to get a result and that is where it is likely to take its toll. “We are still in European football, we’re in April now, it is great credit to the players, we want to stay there. But we have to get ready for the game on Sunday.
