Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal were forced to celebrate West Ham’s win over Lyon by themselves with bottles of water after being summoned for a drugs test.
The Czech duo both played the full 90 minutes in the Hammers’ hugely impressive 3-0 Europa League quarter-final win in France on Thursday night. West Ham booked the club’s first European semi-final in 46 years with a dominant performance to go through 4-1 on aggregate to face Eintracht Frankfurt, who shocked Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
West Ham weathered some early pressure and went 1-0 up when Craig Dawson headed in Pablo Fornals’ corner. It was 2-0 before half-time when Declan Rice found the bottom right-hand corner with a deflected effort and Jarrod Bowen added a third with a precise finish into the bottom corner.
