'I apologise for that but he threw it back very softly': West Ham manager David Moyes red carded for KICKING the ball at an Eintracht Frankfurt ballboy with tensions simmering as Hammers suffered defeat in their tetchy Europa League semi-final

David Moyes apologised after he was red carded for booting the ball at a ballboy in anger as West Ham's European dreams went up in smoke in Frankfurt on Thursday night.

Trailing 2-1 from last week's first leg, the Hammers' job was made even harder in Germany when Aaron Cresswell carelessly earned himself a red card after 19 minutes.

Rafael Santos Borre secured Eintracht Frankfurt a 1-0 win on the night, giving the German side a 3-1 win on aggregate and setting up a Europa League final against Rangers.
