West Ham's route to Europa League semi-final something Newcastle should emulate

David Moyes side made it through to the Europa League semi-final earlier this week with a resounding 4-1 aggregate win over Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais. It's a remarkable achievement from a side who were battling with the Newcastle to stay in the division just two seasons ago.

The Hammers are currently sixth in the Premier League and are still hoping to claw their way into the Champions League places but the hopes of a top four finish is fading. They could still qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League and will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-final.

Had you told any West Ham fan of their fate two years ago, they would have, no doubt, laughed in your face. However, Moyes has proven the 2020-21 season was no fluke and the Hammers have been competing at the top end of the division for a second successive campaign.
