Michail Antonio admits West Ham's Europa League showdown in Lyon will be a 'fight' as boss David Moyes insists Hammers have a 'toughness' about them as they prepare for tense second-leg scrap

There was fighting talk from punchy West Ham last night as Michail Antonio predicted an almighty scrap in Lyon and manager David Moyes said: ‘Let’s see what we can do with 11 men.’

According to the striker, West Ham can win the Europa League. To do that, they will need to navigate their way beyond Lyon after the Ligue 1 side held them to a 1-1 draw in last week’s first leg.

Aaron Cresswell’s red card saw West Ham play with 10 men for the second half — Moussa Dembele caught winking after drawing the foul — but Moyes is confident they can overcome the French side tonight with 11.
