Boss David Moyes would have been unhappy at the way Leeds opened up his defence to score their opener and also at how the hosts were able to overpower a midfield containing England World Cup star Declan Rice as the contest reached its crescendo. In a frantic finish, with tempers fraying in the respective technical areas and Leeds boss Jesse Marsch booked for sarcastically applauding the award of a throw for his team, substitute Michail Antonio and then keeper Fabianski saved the visitors.

The Hammers' impressive defensive efforts in the first half came undone when they failed to close down Hemp before she unleashed a strike to open the scoring and they looked equally as helpless when Roord waltzed through to double the visitors' lead. It was a priceless effort against a Lyon side who are a shadow of the team that beat Manchester City on their way to reaching the Champions League semi-final two seasons ago. The gameplan changed and we created a couple of chances and worked really hard, but I wouldn't expect anything else," said Dawson.The Birmingham-based club sit fifth in the Premier League on 16 points from eight matches played so far, and are enjoying a return to European competition after qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League last season. Alphonse Areola denied Emerson with a decent save as Lyon searched for a winner but West Ham held firm, with Craig Dawson particularly impressive in their rearguard action. Dembele's unnecessary wink as Cresswell made his way off was reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo's infamous reaction to Wayne Rooney's dismissal during the 2006 World Cup. Bowen had been a doubt for the game with the heel injury he suffered at Liverpool last month that kept him out of the last-16 win over Sevilla.

But, even in a side down to 10 men, he remained a danger and was lurking behind Boateng - but in an onside position - as the German failed to deal with a routine break of possession in the centre of the penalty area. From 18-year-old forward Divin Mubama, who played no part, to Moyes himself, finally a trophy-winner after such a long career in management, all joined in joy, leaping around trying to take it all in.There was an emotional farewell at the final whistle as Leeds midfielder Mateusz Klich waved a tearful goodbye to an appreciative Elland Road crowd as he prepares for an expected move to Major League Soccer and Wayne Rooney's DC United. Marsch even put on a specially-printed Klich T-shirt to mark the occasion, with the Leeds fans remembering the 32-year-old Poland international's immense contribution to the club, which began five years ago when they were still in the Championship.
