I controlled it well and then it was about shifting it, hitting the target and hitting it with power. On Bowen, Moyes added: "He's getting much closer and he's looking closer to exactly where he was last year. I think people look at me differently now but I just want more of the same from last year. Moyes said on the crowd trouble: "It's good for the press officer to stand up for the club. The penalty late on made it nerve-wracking for the last five minutes but we hung in there. "The form of Silkeborg at the moment looks a problem given the goals they're scoring so we still need a point to be winners of the group. The goal made Bowen West Ham's joint leading scorer in Europe with six, alongside Johnny Byrne and David Cross. I didn't have any interest in it as it's one of those things you don't want to talk about. I don't want to draw any more attention to it." Moyes said afterwards: "The players' job is to get on with it, and I thought they did. Angelo Ogbonna, Ben Johnson and Vladimir Coufal all came into the defence while Alphonse Areola took his place in goal. The more we look at it, we don't want any trouble.

How West Ham's players rated at the London Stadium where David Moyes' side looked to book their place in the knockout rounds of the Europa Conference League ...

Captain Declan Rice came on alongside Scamacca, replacing Cresswell in a move that saw Rice play on the left side of a centre-back trio. Starting as a pressing forward, Fornals came close to his second goal of the season, but saw his shot at the end of good move early on after the break, but saw his effort blocked. Linked up well with Cresswell and Emerson down his side and created a good chance for Pablo Fornals after the break, with the Spaniard seeing his shot blocked. There was a shot at redemption for Benrahma after missing a golden chance last week in Belgium, starting on the left of Paqueta. A quiet first half but saw more of the ball after the break, involved in a move to create a chance for Fornals. Booked towards the end of the half for a foul on Amadou Diawara, with there being some needle between the two from West Ham's win last week. The Italian international wing-back has not played all that often so far this season, but the majority of his minutes have come in Europe, starting as a wing-back on the left side. Created a golden chance for Bowen to make it 3-0 before the break, only for Bowen to miss with a rare air shot. There was a role change for Angelo Ogbonna, who captained the Hammers last week, moving from the left of the centre-back trio and giving the armband to Aaron Cresswell. Ben Johnson started as a right centre-back in the centre-back trio, somewhere he impressed in on his return from injury in Belgium. Vladimir Coufal was again used as a right wing-back having featured in that role and as part of the move for Gianluca Scamacca's winner in the reverse meeting between the two sides. Quiet in the second half but saw Esposito get the better of him from the penalty spot.

Excellent from Cresswell to come out from the back and win an interception and it started a move. One touch to set himself, one to knock it forward and then another to tee up a thunderous finish. Emerson flies down the left and cuts it back to Bowen. A bit of pinball in and around the box. Andlerecht pull a goal back throughout Esposito from the spot.
