Mohammed Kudus arrived for £38million from Ajax to a great deal of excitement around West Ham and how David Moyes hopes this will be the first of many magic moments for his new man.
For a while, Moyes was worried that he was getting, well, Moyes’d in this Europa League tie. Much like West Ham in the Premier League, Backa Topola arrived here with a plan to forgo possession in the hope that a solid defensive shape might see them nick a goal.
The Serbian visitors took the lead after a criminal mistake by Angelo Ogbonna, leaving West Ham up against it at the London Stadium.
