West Ham United’s UEFA Europa League run has been ended at the quarter-final stage by Bayer Leverkusen, despite a valiant second leg effort.
The Hammers welcomed the Germans to London Stadium hopeful of overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit - and had those hopes boosted by a terrific start.
Michail Antonio’s early header had West Ham well and truly believing they could evoke the spirit of Seville and produce yet another night to remember under the lights.
But Leverkusen improved after the restart and struck late through Jeremie Frimpong to kill the tie and extend Die Werkself’s undefeated run to 44 matches.
