In what has been a very frustrating season for the Algerian, tonight's fixture could give him an opportunity to regain some confidence.

Anything but a convincing win will only increase the pressure from supporters already ticked off by Moyes’ comments at the weekend.

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.
