West Ham made it into consecutive European semi-finals with a 4-1 win over Gent on Thursday night.
David Moyes’ side booked a Europa Conference League final four meeting with AZ Alkmaar with a stunning second-half display.
Hugo Cuypers had given the visitors the lead before Michail Antonio nodded in Jarrod Bowen’s free-kick before half-time.
Goals from Lucas Paqueta, Declan Rice and a second from Antonio, however, saw the Hammers win the 5-1 on aggregate.
Here’s how David Moyes’s side rated at the London Stadium...
Alphonse Areola 6
Dragged out of position for the opener, then untested.
Vladimir Coufal 5
Staggering lack of composure in possession. Cross did win free-kick that led to equaliser.
Kurt Zouma 7
A major factor in the dangerous Gift Orban having a markedly quieter night than seven days ago.
Nayef Aguerd 6
Back after missing Arsenal draw with a heel problem. Almost got back on the line to clear opener. Good on the ball.
Emerson 6
A decent attacking threat down the left and largely unworked going the other way.
Tomas Soucek 6
Really ought to have put West Ham ahead when hitting the bar but that is a mere footnote now.
Declan Rice 9
Set the tone with first-minute cruncher on danger-man Orban. Run and finish to give West Ham cushion was club’s best moment of the season.
Lucas Paqueta 7
Made a bright start but dreadful pass gifted possession to Gent for opener. Demanded to take penalty and tucked it away nicely.
Jarrod Bowen 8
Dangerous free-kick created equaliser, set-up glaring chance for Soucek and had a goal disallowed.
Michail Antonio 8
Cracking front-post header to level scores, then lashed a second home. Has come alive in recent weeks.
Said Benrahma 7
A bit miffed and not taking penalty having scored four out of four this term. Dangerous when allowed to stand his man up, though crossing was wasteful.
