West Ham 2 – 0 Sevilla

Andriy Yarmolenko was again the hero for West Ham as his extra-time goal knocked out Sevilla and sent the Hammers into the Europa League quarter-finals after a 2-0 victory on the night and 2-1 win on aggregate.

It was Yarmolenko’s second goal in as many games for West Ham since his return from compassionate leave following the war in his native Ukraine.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Tomas Soucek’s first-half header brought West Ham level in the tie and while the Hammers controlled much of the second leg at the London Stadium, they could not find the decisive second goal in normal time.

Their big moment eventually came in the second half of extra time as Yarmolenko, who came on as an 87th-minute substitute, reacted quickest after goalkeeper Yassine Bounou parried Pablo Fornals’ strike to tap home the rebound and spark yet more emotional scenes.

The Ukraine international’s strike proved to be the decisive goal as West Ham knocked out the six-time winners to book their place in Friday’s draw for the last eight as their remarkable European adventure continues.
