David Moyes apologises for kicking ball at ball boy in West Ham Europa League exit

Former Everton manager David Moyes was sent off in West Ham United's 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa League semi-final second leg after losing his cool.

The incident happened in the 77th minute of Thursday night's clash as a ball boy refused to return the ball quickly enough and Moyes booted the ball back at him in frustration. Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano had no hesitation in sending off the Scot.

West Ham went down 3-1 on aggregate to end their impressive run in this year’s competition. In truth, their task was made almost impossible from the start as defender Aaron Creswell was sent off after just 18 minutes, changing the whole landscape of the game.
