They are the masters of late goals and as West Ham tired, the German 支持する／優勝者s pounced ? with Jeremie Frimpong equalising at the death.

There is a 推論する／理由 Xabi Alonso’s 味方する are now 44 games unbeaten this season - the longest ever run in the 最高の，を越す five European leagues. It is a phenomenal 業績／成就 and they are surely the favourites to 勝利，勝つ this 競争.

There will be what ifs that ぐずぐず残る in the に引き続いて days for Moyes. What if Lucas Paqueta had not been 一時停止するd for last night’s game after an unnecessary yellow card in the first 脚. What if Jarrod Bowen’s ボレー had gone in just before half-time? What if West Ham had seen out a 1-0 敗北・負かす in the first 脚 instead of 譲歩するing a second goal in 追加するd time?

‘I thought tonight we had the chance to go two or three-nil up at one point. We 行方不明になるd those 適切な時期s which were really important. I couldn’t fault the players at all. I thought they were fantastic, their 態度, their 成果／努力.

‘Three years in Europe has been fabulous and I’m hoping that there is still a chance we can make it four.’

Moyes knew his team would have to be more attacking from the start and he could not have asked for a better atmosphere from his 支持者s - who had been given a 抱擁する 上げる by the news that Bowen, who had 行方不明になるd the first 脚 through 傷害, was fit enough to start.?

It did not take their 最高の，を越す scorer long to produce some 魔法 to get his 味方する 支援する into the tie.

The 今後 選ぶd up the ball 中途の in the Leverkusen half and played a one-two with Vladimir Coufal before curling a cross into the box.?

The changes worked, with Leverkusen much better in 所有／入手 and in defence. The only real chance for West Ham fell to Bowen, who was caught in two minds whether to shoot or cross and in the end did neither.

Leverkusen have made late goals a habit and in the 88th minute, Frimpong 追加するd another to their season’s collection. The midfielder 設立する space in the box and his deflected 発射 bounced past Lukasz Fabianski.?

賞賛 rang around the London Stadium. 失望 was in the 空気／公表する, but the 圧倒的な feeling was one of pride. To reach the latter 行う／開催する／段階s of European tournaments three years in a 列／漕ぐ／騒動 is no mean feat. It may be some time before they manage that again.
