In Pictures: Gent first leg ends all-square

West Ham United and KAA Gent will head to London Stadium with their UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final on a knife-edge after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Belgium on Thursday.

Danny Ings gave the visitors the lead on the stroke of half-time when he touched home Jarrod Bowen’s low cross, but the Hammers were pushed back by their impressive hosts and Hugo Cuypers netted a deserved leveller on 56 minutes.

Alessio Castro-Montes and Gift Orban went close to a winner for the Belgian Cup holders, while Jarrod Bowen shot wide at the other end, but neither team could find the second goal to give them the edge heading into the second leg.
