West Ham United 4-0 AEK Larnaca (Aggregate: 6-0): Hammers in the last eight of the Europa Conference League

Jarrod Bowen became West Ham’s top European goalscorer as David Moyes’ side easily beat Cypriot side AEK Larnaca to reach the last eight of the Europa Conference League.
Bowen struck twice in as many minutes early in the second half to take his tally to eight in two European campaigns.
The win equaled West Ham’s biggest win in Europe as, for the second consecutive season, they reached the quarter-finals of European competition.
However, that success was a far cry from the memorable and biting extra-time triumph over Sevilla in last season’s Europa League round of 16.
Two down from the first leg, Larnaca were outclassed at the London Stadium as the Hammers cruised to victory.
The Cypriots offered the opening goal to Gianluca Scamacca, then had Gustavo Ledes sent off just before the break for a poor challenge on Pablo Fornals who went from a yellow card to a red following the intervention of a video assistant referee.
Bowen took the local side further. His second in particular was impressive as he curled a header from Aaron Creswell’s cross over the Larnaca keeper and into the corner.
West Ham’s win was completed by 18-year-old local Divin Mubama, who has been with the club since the age of eight and scored his first senior goal on just his third first-team appearance.
