West Ham United manager David Moyes has said that he had family and friends in the section which AZ Alkmaar fans targeted in the post-match crowd trouble.
On Thursday night, Pablo Fornals' stoppage time goal sealed a 1-0 win over Alkmaar to cement a place in the final in Prague next month, but the game was marred by ugly scenes at full-time as Alkmaar fans broke down a fence to head towards the VIP area where West Ham’s players' family, friends and ex-players were in the crowd.
Speaking after the game, Moyes confirmed that his family and friends were in that area but did not want the incident to tarnish the occasion of West Ham reaching their first European final since 1976.
