Areola should have kept out Jovic's header, which was straight at him. Instead, he fumbled it over the line. The Frenchman was hugely relieved to see the offside flag raised, a decision confirmed by VAR. Jovic got an accidental boot in the face from Tomas Soucek instead and had to be replaced at the break.

Bowen had been a doubt for the game with the heel injury he suffered at Liverpool last month that kept him out of the last-16 win over Sevilla. Moyes waited for Zwayer at the interval to offer his opinion, unhappy about a perceived foul on Bowen in the build-up to the dismissal, to which the German reacted by booking the Hammers manager.

He has taken charge of eleven West Ham matches in total, with the Irons having won two of them - including last season's 1-0 victory at Villa Park. Roord, who arrived from Wolfsburg, and Jess Park, who returned from her season-long loan at Everton, were the club's only additions.If there is any consolation given how the game unfolded, it is that the Premier League side are still in with a chance, unlike the last occasion West Ham reached a European quarter-final, when they were beaten 4-1 in the first leg at home by Dynamo Tblisi in 1981. We had to win, we played half a game against 10 men. When you play against 10 players you should be winning but we conceded a silly goal," Bosz said. Bowen again proves his importance to Hammers

Pablo Fornals got the only goal at Villa Park last season, and also netted in the 4-1 in the previous campaign in which Ben Johnson, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen also scored. There will be an unwanted post-script as Uefa is bound to come down hard on the Hammers for the unwanted first-half scenes that left Biraghi playing with a bandage round his head for the last hour of the contest and forced the club to condemn those responsible. Fiorentina's Biraghi was hit in the head by an object thrown from the West Ham end West Ham, though, could not keep control of a spiky contest after Gianluca Scamacca punished Brenden Aaronson's wayward pass with a first-time shot from 25 yards just 45 seconds into the second half. The Birmingham-based club sit fifth in the Premier League on 16 points from eight matches played so far, and are enjoying a return to European competition after qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.Thoughts are with the innocent civilians who have lost their lives, and all the communities impacted by the ongoing crisis in Israel and Gaza.

But, even in a side down to 10 men, he remained a danger and was lurking behind Boateng - but in an onside position - as the German failed to deal with a routine break of possession in the centre of the penalty area. The performance was better than recent efforts, which should count in the Scot's favour but, in a world where results count, West Ham's league position does not provide much cause for comfort as only goal difference keeps them out of the bottom three. Klich says goodbye - but Gnonto shines Then, with virtually the final touch, Fabianski produced a brilliant one-handed save to deny Rodrigo. West Ham's struggles continue The West Ham boss had already been unimpressed with the official given he had twice stopped play for an injury to a Lyon player which was not head related. The sight of a bunch of flowers on the seat Gold would have occupied was a poignant sight, next to his long-time business partner David Sullivan, who did make the journey to West Yorkshire.

West Ham Top Players

There was an emotional farewell at the final whistle as Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich waved a tearful goodbye to an appreciative Elland Road crowd as he prepares for an expected move to Major League Soccer and Wayne Rooney's DC United. We also won 2-0 there in the Premier League in February 2014, when current first-team coach Kevin Nolan eased the Irons’ relegation fears with a double strike. Areola had been fortunate to escape conceding the opener in the final minute of the opening period when he failed to get down to a Christian Kouame header, which bounced off a post and fell kindly for Luka Jovic. Bowen timed his run to perfection as Lucas Paqueta slid a superb pass through the Fiorentina defence.
