West Ham 0-1 Astra Giurgiu (1-2 agg): Filipe Teixeira dumps Slaven Bilic's side out of Europa League on a dismal night at the London Stadium

More of a false start disqualification on a night of frustration when the vision of a glittering future with European football to grace the stylish stadium was undone by a 35-year-old journeyman once of West Bromwich Albion and Barnsley.

Filipe Teixeira appeared just before half-time to fire Astra Giurgiu into the lead.
