Match report as Michail Antonio nodded West Ham ahead before adding his second with a superb, curling effort in first-half injury-time in Cyprus; ...

"I was so close to the perfect hat-trick! I hope we're talking about semi-finals and finals this year, but first we've got to try and make the quarter-final." When it hit the post, I was devastated. That was another part of the disappointment, but overall, really pleased that we got the result. But once West Ham found their quality, it was only a matter of time before the goals came. In the first minute of three added on, a stunning finish gave West Ham their second. We got ourselves in a really good position." "Tonight I knew was going to be difficult," said West Ham boss David Moyes. They racked up 14 corners - West Ham had zero - but the Hammers' quality shone through at both ends of the pitch. There's something different about Europe, even in a small stadium like tonight, it's a great thrill to be involved at this level." He could have made it the perfect hat-trick shortly after the break too, but saw his left-footed shot clatter the post. I got a couple of kicks today and I think it just tightened up.

A brace from Michail Antonio gave West Ham a 2-0 win in Cyprus against AEK Larnaca.

36' GOAL - WEST HAM UNITED - What a fantastic header from Michail Antonio and West Ham are ahead! - Michail Antonio latches onto a pass before striking the post with a left-footed effort. Benrahma fires in a cross and Antonio diverts his header into the far corner. His first goal was an expertly taken header and his second was a curled finish that West Ham fans will be watching back over and over. David Moyes' side put in a thoroughly professional performance to win the match, all without really having to get out of first gear. Less than 10 minutes later Antonio had the ball in the back of the net once again.

West Ham picked up a welcome victory on Thursday as they beat AEK Larnaca 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League clash.

The 1,600 from West Ham expected a win and Antonio delivered it. Cornet’s terrific through-ball left Lucas Paqueta one on one with Piric, but the Brazilian disappointingly could not find a finish. A few West Ham fans may leave that party town with headaches, but not the players, nor the manager, after this controlled performance.

How West Ham's players rated at the AEK Arena where David Moyes' side looked to record a Europa Conference League round of 16 first leg victory when they ...

Was on the wrong end of a few fouls early in the second half and gave Larnaca's left side something to think about when he was introduced. Came close to a perfect hat-trick at the start of the second half, seeing a left-footed shot crash off the inside of the post after good work from Benrahma and Lanzini. Really good on the ball and his cleverness and quick feet created a lot of West Ham's positives on the night. In a West Ham side the really lacked imagination in the opening half, Benrahma was arguably the only bright spark going forward, showing his potential threat when jinking past three Larnaca players and getting the game's first shot on goal in from a tight angle. Played most of the game as a right winger in Jarrod Bowen's absence before briefly switching to the left and then coming off towards the end. Provided a good assist for Antonio's second goal, his second of the game. Barring a mix-up at the back which he and Aguerd got away with midway through the second half, he had a really solid display in his first European start of the season. Although Moyes largely rotated the pack, captain Declan Rice was one of the few left in tasked with galvanizing the best out of a rotated team. Not his best outing though, and a second half booking for the former Swansea City man means he is now suspended for the second leg in a week's time. French centre-back Kurt Zouma came on against Brighton with Angelo Ogbonna taken off as an injury precaution but was back in the XI for his first start from suffering with a thigh injury and his first start in the Europa Conference League this season. Needed his defended in the first and final thirds of the game. His struggles continued in the second half and he was one of two players booked.

Michail Antonio scored twice as West Ham United earned a 2-0 victory over AEK Larnaca in the last-16 of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Nevertheless, the second leg at the London Stadium next week should be a formality, while first it is back to the day job for West Ham and a crucial meeting with Aston Villa on Sunday. At one point a cat threatened to invade the pitch but, perhaps mindful that Kurt Zouma was back in the West Ham team, it changed its mind and ran off. But, after a day of sunshine and beer, the travelling support were in a far less mutinous mood on the Cyprus coast.
