David Moyes' response to West Ham 'one eye' on Europe question ahead of Leeds United clash

David Moyes has dismissed suggestions West Ham have 'one eye' on Europe after falling to defeat at Brentford. The Hammers will take a narrow one-goal lead into their Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night, but were beaten by the Bees in their latest domestic fixture on Sunday.

First-half goals from Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa was enough to ease the hosts to a 2-0 victory, with the visitors failing to impress after making seven changes. Moyes' side are not mathematically out of the relegation fight just yet, although they are sat six points clear of danger with just two matches' remaining.

The West Ham boss was pressed on whether his team had taken their eye off the ball ahead in the Premier League, with Leeds United the visitors to the London Stadium next Sunday. Moyes dismissed the claim however, and pointed to a hectic schedule in April which had led to him deciding to rotate and give squad players the opportunity to stake their claim for a starting spot.
