West Ham swept into the Europa League semi-finals after beating Lyon 3-0 in their quarter-final second leg, winning 4-1 on aggregate to set up a tie with Eintracht Frankfurt, who beat Barcelona.


Celebration of goal as West Ham score treble

The Hammers had to ride the wave of early pressure from Lyon - pumped up by a raucous home crowd - but once David Moyes' side found the net, they never looked back.

All the goals came in an 11-minute period either side of the break. An unmarked Craig Dawson (38) nodded West Ham ahead, sending Pablo Fornals' corner through a slither of space at the near post.


Six minutes later and West Ham captain Declan Rice (44) added the second. Ben Johnson's left-wing cross was cleared into his path, with the midfielder having plenty of time to control the ball before striking from the top of the area. It took a deflection on the way through, but Lyon's defence was found wanting again.

Three minutes after the break, West Ham added their third and secured their place in the Europa League's final four. A sensational pass from Fornals sent Jarrod Bowen through, with few defenders near him again. It was then a fine finish past Julian Pollersbeck as his exceptional season for the Hammers continues.
