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.
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.
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

All the details for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final clash between West Ham and Lyon, which takes place in London.
With a squad featuring the likes of Moussa Dembele, Tanguy Ndombele and Houssem Aouar, there's plenty to fear. 10 mins to KO: As "Freed from Desire" blasts out of the loudspeakers, there is a real party atmosphere here. 15th min: The tempo of the game had slowed significantly to suit Lyon, but West Ham just ignited it again with one long ball. 24th min: Ndombele and Rice are two Rolls-Royce midfielders going head-to-head here, but it's the former into slightly more of a rhythm as Lyon boss the ball and control the tempo. 35th min: West Ham fans - and manager David Moyes - are completely exasperated with the referee. An equally-furious Moyes waits for them as they march towards the tunnel, and receives a yellow card of his own. But there's a slight worry for West Ham, with Fredericks down on the turf receiving treatment in a lengthy stoppage. 63rd min: A big chance for the Irons to go two up! Some tricky feet from substitute Tete in the box end with him placing a ball across the face of goal, which Areola can only parry out into the path of the oncoming ex-Spurs midfielder, who has the simplest of finishes. Firstly, his gifts on the ball led to him consistently probing the West Ham back-line and looking for the killer ball, while spreading the play from flank to flank. West Ham played in Moyes’ image, defending resolutely and with a structure that has to be admired. He oozed class with several of his 119 touches and 92 passes — both being the most of any player on the field.
West Ham are looking to get to the semi-final of a major European competition since 1976 - when they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs. Omen?
I know we’ve slumped a little but we’re yet to disappoint in Europe and are coming off the back of a vital win! A key difference between the previous round and this is the fact that West Ham play at home in the first leg. This game is absolutely massive for our club and it’s a chance to write history for us. Lyon in my opinion, is a more beatable opposition than Sevilla so I really fancy our chances against the French side.

The players know the atmosphere and power the crowd will bring, which will hopefully spur them on to comfortably win the game.
