Bilic unhappy with 'stupid red cards'

Another red card left Slaven Bilic unhappy despite watching his side progress in the UEFA Europa League.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic slammed his team's poor discipline after it scraped through in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

The Premier League side battled past Maltese club Birkirkara 5-3 on penalties after losing the second leg 1-0 to leave the tie locked at 1-1.

James Tomkins was sent off for retaliating to a Nikola Vukanac push in the 45th minute, marking West Ham's second red card in two European away games this season.

Bilic said his team had a lot to learn before its third qualifying round meeting with Astra Giurgiu.
