West Ham United emphatically reached the semi-finals of the Europa League by thumping Lyon 3-0 in their own back yard.
David Moyes' men will now face German side Eintracht Frankfurt in the last four, with goals from Craig Dawson, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen sending their 'messiah' of a manager to his first-ever European semi-final. The Irons went into the second leg with the aggregate scores at 1-1, having held out for a nervy draw with 10 men at the London Stadium last Thursday.
Once it was a level playing field in France, West Ham made their quality count with a typically well-executed game-plan; soaking up pressure with resolute defending and hitting the hapless Lyon on the counter. Dawson's thumping header broke the deadlock on 38 minutes before Rice and Bowen netted either side of half-time, as Pablo Fornals racked up a hat-trick of assists in the famous win.
