West Ham were knocked out of the Europa League, despite threatening to end Bayer Leverkusen’s 43-match unbeaten run in a 1-1 draw.

David Moyes’ side went into the second leg of the quarter-final tie at the London Stadium needing to overturn a two-goal deficit, after they were beaten in Germany a week ago, and they threatened to do just that.

Michail Antonio pulled one back in a brilliant first-half performance from West Ham, as Leverkusen, crowned Bundesliga champions on Sunday, looked increasingly rattled.

The legs went out of the Hammers after the break though, and Leverkusen ensured they did not fall to their first defeat of the season when Jeremie Frimpong’s deflected effort made it 3-1 on aggregate late on.
