West Ham vs Bayer Leverkusen: Europa League - LIVE!
West Ham lost their chance to continue in the Europa League, despite giving Bayer Leverkusen, who just became champions in Germany, a shock. Michail Antonio scored in the beginning, and even though they lost the first game 2-0, West Ham still believed they could beat Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen, who had not lost a game all season. This would have allowed them to move onto the semi-finals, which they had accomplished twice before in the last three years.
West Ham knew they had to start strong, and both the team and crowd were completely different from their recent loss to Fulham. Getting the first goal was crucial for West Ham to compete, and it finally happened in the 14th minute from a cross by Jarrod Bowen. Unfortunately, the team tired out in the second half and, with only two minutes remaining, Frimpong scored a goal with help from a deflection off Aaron Cresswell; this ended West Ham's chances of continuing in the European competition.
