Declan Rice's parting gift to West Ham could be a European trophy after crowning a Cockney knees-up with a magnificent solo goal.
On a memorable night at the Taxpayers Stadium, the Hammers parked their Premier League relegation fears, to blow away hapless Gent with three goals in eight minutes. Pick of the bunch was England midfielder Rice's storming 60-yard run and polished finish as the Irons clinched their second European semi-final in as many seasons.
Robbing Buffalos defender Kamil Piatkowski deep inside his own half, Rice set off on a glorious slalom through the Gent defence and drilled a brilliant finish into the corner. If, as expected, he leaves West Ham for £100million-plus this summer, he could go out with a pot and the club's 'Bubbles' anthem acclaiming him as an all-time great in the East end.
